Read their addendum to the original query.  Nautilus doesn't show you
any details about the file it's about to overwrite.  You don't know if
you're about to replace an identical file, or just one with the same
name.

For what it's worth, ditch using Nautilus as a file manager.  It just
about scrapes by as a file browser, but it's hopeless for managing your
files.  I usually use emelfm2, other's swear by MC.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
