Mafia 3: DE and Mafia 1: DE SDS Model Extraction improvement help

[BalAir]

I have been trying my hand on trying to properly extract models from Mafia 3: DE and Mafia 1: DE sds files. While the models can be extracted using Mafia Toolkit and the following tool provided, the quality of the model that tool exports is rather rough as there's a lot of shading artifacts upon importing the model into Blender. Plus, the model skeleton is practically unusable and the bones are unnamed.

Based on what I have seen when I was working with Mafia II models, I have noticed that custom paint liveries are stored in a different uv map. My hunch is that the decals and liveries uvs in Mafia 3 and Mafia 1: DE are stored in a similarly manner as in Mafia II. I would like to try to get that those additional uv maps along with a properly named and working model skeleton.

I have also provided a sample file from Mafia 3: DE and Mafia 1: DE respectively as well as the tool used.
