  * I have a composition created by Adobe Premiere of about 100 items
  * I've set the label for each clip/asset in the Project pane
    + I have bins for each label
    + I did this because the different clips were shot with different light, and I want to correct for this
  * I see my clips in the Layer/Timeline panel
  * ...with labels...
  * yet the labels are NOT the same as how they appear for the same assets above, in the Project panel!

  Try clicking on the "Layer Name"/"Source Name" column title in the timeline. It should toggle between the name in your Project bin, and the name you've given the layer in the comp.
