His main reason for asking was for running Careers using the same name, but using different installs of both SH3 and SH3Cmdr. Obviously, using the single Personnel Files folder would cause conflict between the different Career names.

Yes, you can. Indeed, that is the very point of MultiSH3 - it allows you to have completely separate careers for each installation. SH3 Commander 2.6.1 will pick up the careers path from the copy of FileManager.dll that is in the game path to which it points.
For example:
Installation 1:
- Stock 1.4b in "\SilentHunterIII"
- "\SilentHunterIII\FileManager.dll" by default points to "My Documents\SH3"
- SH3 Commander installation 1 launches "\SilentHunterIII\sh3.exe" and uses the career(s) in "My Documents\SH3"
Installation 2:
- GWX in "\SH3 GWX"
- use MultiSH3 to patch "\SH3 GWX\FileManager.dll" to put careers in "My Documents\GWX"
- SH3 Commander installation 2 run with the /l switch launches "\GWX\sh3.exe" and uses the career(s) in "My Documents\GWX"
etc.
You can use the same name for careers both installations but they are completely separate from each other.
