Incorrect GUID is present when replacing a different asset with an asset that has the same name
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project "ReproProj"
2. Open the FindAssets window (NMY > Find Asset By GUID)
3. Drag and drop “/Assets/PrefabTest/P1.prefab“ to the “Search by reference” field
4. Observe that the “Search by GUID“ field is updated with “8d244ec4c93416a4cbf4cbbf664ebc55“
5. In the Project window, Right-click on “/Assets/PrefabTest/P1.prefab“ and click “Show in Explorer“
6. Without allowing Unity to refresh, In Explorer, delete “P1.prefab” and “P1.prefab.meta“
7. In Explorer, rename “P2.prefab“ and “P2.prefab.meta“ to “P1.prefab” and “P1.prefab.meta“
8. Click on Editor to refresh
9. Repeat steps 3-4
10. Open “P1.prefab.meta” in IDE
11. Observe GUID in 2nd line
Expected result: The “Search by GUID“ field shows the same GUID as the META file
Actual result: The GUID shown in the “Search by GUID“ field in the Editor differs from the GUID shown in the META file
Reproducible with: 2021.3.44f1, 2022.3.50f1, 6000.0.22f1
