Loaded the P9 default scene, deleted Andy, loaded 4 Slicers, loaded Andy, loaded another Andy. Parented the 4th slicer to the 1st Andy Parented the 3rd slicer to the 2nd Andy

Here's what my script gave me

External Name = SlicerSword_1 (Internal Name = SlicerSword)
External Name = SlicerSword_2 (Internal Name = SlicerSword 1)

External Name = Body (Internal Name = BODY:2)
External Name = GoalCenterOfMass (Internal Name = GoalCenterOfMass:2)
External Name = CenterOfMass (Internal Name = CenterOfMass:2)
External Name = Hip (Internal Name = hip:2)
External Name = Waist (Internal Name = waist:2)
...
External Name = SlicerSword_4 (Internal Name = SlicerSword 3:2)

External Name = Body (Internal Name = BODY:3)
External Name = GoalCenterOfMass (Internal Name = GoalCenterOfMass:3)
External Name = CenterOfMass (Internal Name = CenterOfMass:3)
External Name = Hip (Internal Name = hip:3)
External Name = Waist (Internal Name = waist:3)
...
External Name = SlicerSword_3 (Internal Name = SlicerSword 2:3)

Saving as non-smart props:

{
version
    {
    number 9
    }
prop SlicerSword 3:2
    {
    storageOffset 0 0.3487 0
    objFileGeom 0 0 :Runtime:Geometries:VaL_Slicer:SlicerSword.obz
    }
prop SlicerSword 3:2
    {
    name    SlicerSword_4

{
version
    {
    number 9
    }
prop SlicerSword 2:3
    {
    storageOffset 0 0.3487 0
    objFileGeom 0 0 :Runtime:Geometries:VaL_Slicer:SlicerSword.obz
    }
prop SlicerSword 2:3
    {
    name    SlicerSword_3

That seems to confirm that theory, although of course further tests may change that. But it seems a good start.
