XF 2.3 Two-part import?

I performed a forum import from an older version of XF in order to get my community back online when we were having trouble getting all of the file attachments transferred. So the import was performed, all of the posts are there, but the attachments directory was empty. I expected to see the Attachments area in the admin CP populated with a lot of broken links, but there's nothing there.

Once I get the attachments transferred, can I just run the importer again, but only of the attachments, and count on the attachments to attach themselves to the correct posts that they used to be part of?
 
Without an incremental importer, no. You'll need to redo the entire import.

Hm.

I maintained the original content IDs in the initial import. Obviously importing attachments only is possible inside the XF importer - it's a selectable option.

Seems like the map should be there somewhere. Any thoughts on how I could get there?
