I invite you to take a look at the list of files at https://tools.wmflabs.org/mrmetadata/commons/commons/index.html and see if you can find such groups and patterns.
Once you identify a pattern, you're encouraged to add a section to the Bot Requests page on Commons, so that a bot owner can fix them: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Work_requests#Adding_the_Inf...
Just a quick note to let you know that the Bot requests page is very active at the moment, with people identifying all sorts of patterns and using bots or the VisualFileChange script to do mass edits.
In just a few days, we've added the information template to more than 23,000 files! [1] Many thanks to Jarekt, Basv, Amir and everyone else who's been fixing all those files :)
Even if you don't own a bot, you can help by looking to the list of files, identifying groups of similar files, and adding a section to the Bot requests page so that the bots can fix the pages automatically.
The Requests page also has links to lists of files grouped by author / upload date if you want to use your favorite spreadsheet application to find groups of files.
