BOM Repeat Region - Advanced Manipulation

BOM Repeat Region - Advanced Manipulation

(OP)
I am trying to generate a table illustrating two assemblies side-by-side using the same parts list. i.e. one configuration of the assembly using part A with fasteners, but a different configuration uses part B with all the same fasteners.

My approach so far: I assembled the two assemblies into a top level reference assembly. I then made the table recursive and filtered out both their top levels. Using relations, I'm assigning the report values to parameters, and then reporting those parameters to the table. I have successfully accomplished this (my table is displaying all of the columns I desire), but in my code I am lacking the Pro/E identifier to how it recognizes one "asm.mbr.generic.name" is different from another "asm.mbr.generic.name" to ensure the quantity totals are correct.  Can anyone help me??

Here's a quick graphic trying to show what I mean:
  1                0              Part A
  0                1              Part B
  4                4              Bolt
  8                8              Washer
  4                4              Nut
-001         -003          Part Number
QTY          QTY
REQ'D       REQ'D
