How do I re-associate the original uploaded files with the new load of DownloadsII. There must be a file(s) I can overwrite from the backup set?

Long story short you can't. You can use the import utility to re-add them into the downloads, but that won't bring back all the old settings (i.e. author, rating, etc.) for the files.
