but the code can't find files with fileBase in it if the fileBase
starts the filename.

if the filenames are rnoise##.tif and fileBase is "rnoise" the file
won't be found. If fileBase is "noise" the files will be found.

(untested) Try

if f.find(fileBase)>  -1:

Python is a 0-based language, so if fileBase is at the start of f then
the result is 0. If fileBase isn't in f then the result is -1.

An alternative is:

    if fileBase in f:
