Swapping Sd cards
Other than that the phones/tablets recognize the cards by their "serial" in the filesystem. You can manipulate it with standard tools: https://github.com/exfatprogs/exfatprogs

Why is exfatprogs not in the focal repositories?
There is a new exFAT implementation, introduced with kernel 5.7. Ubuntu 20.04 runs on kernel 5.8, so it has the new implementation, but the programs to manipulate exFAT aren't in the repos. These programs are in newer versions of Ubuntu, so I don't see why they wouldn't be in 20.04. The exfat-utils package is for the old FUSE implementation, which is very slow.

How to read ascii in binary file?
That strings dump seems to show that the file is a FAT16 disk image. Search for python code that reads a FAT16 disk image. Here's one. Whether this is any faster than mounting the file is something you will have to decide. Why not just mount the .bin and copy the file you want somewhere?
What are some alternatives?
