Notmuch only renames files to change their mailder flags (after the last
':') so it's hard to see how notmuch would have done this. Other than
that (and notmuch insert, which you'd know if you were using), notmuch
doesn't write or rename files. You can test by running

% notmuch config set maildir.synchronize_flags false

Then notmuch won't rename files at all.
