As per "filename case", if you are running GNOME you can tweak that under 
"start/system tools/configuration editor" and navigate to "system/storage/
default_options/vfat" then set the value "mount_options" to 
[shortname=lower,uid=] that will cause all the files, despite their 
original case, to be transformed into lower case.

OTOH, I see the right time stamp for the copied files :-?
