Currently, lyx tries to extract a file. It checks (line 127,
embeddedFiles.cpp) for overwrite only when both files exists and are
different.
fs::exists(ext_file) && fs::exists(emb_file) && status_ == EMBEDDED
&& sum(*this) != sum(FileName(emb_file))
In lyx2lyx, a default behavior has to be defined.

Mostly, the continuous use of external files in the latex way.

Select all the files in the embedding panel, and select embed.

Document->Settings can add something like 'default embedding mode'.
