As far as the saved games goes: The folders in your C:\Users\****\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames are numbered. For example 0000001, 0000004, 0000008, etc. Within these folders is a file named CareerTrack.upc. You can open it with notepad. Your captains name can be found near the top under [CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusHeader].
To differentiate between the various modded installs you may use I suggest that you give each install a different Captains name (when you start a campaign). And if you're like me, write it/them down so ya don't forget which one is which.
In closing I would like to say that regardless if you want to play with multiple installs I highly recommend that anyone thinking about using mods copies their entire SH5 game install folder to another folder on your HDD (or to another drive if ya have one). This will save you the headache of having to reinstall the game when you mess up. And you know we do.

EDIT: And before you post Magic, I know what you are talking about. I am just responding/adding on to what panosrxo reported.
