Add-ins MenuBar Duplicates in Drop Down when opening multiple copies of existing workbook

I have an Add-ins Menu Bar (which works fine) defined and processed in "ThisWorkbook" using the code below:

The issue is that I need to have multiple copies of this workbook open at the same time.

To get multiple copies of the workbook I copy the original existing workbook save it as a different filename

So now 2 different workbooks with 2 different file names

When I open both workbooks - Each one shows the Add-ins menu but when I click on either Add-ins menu - I see duplicate Menus and duplicate CTRLs within those menus

If open 3 of the workbooks - I see 3 of the Menu items and 3 sets of CTRLs

Anyone please?

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim mymenubar As CommandBar
Dim newmenu As CommandBarPopup
Dim ctrl1, ctrl2 As CommandBarButton
   
Set mymenubar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet menu Bar")
Set newmenu = mymenubar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, Temporary:=True, before:=2)
'newmenu.caption = "SetBilder-1955 Topps"
mymenubar.Visible = True
        
Set ctrl1 = newmenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=1)
     With ctrl1
        .caption = "Import Set"
        .Style = msoButtonCaption
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!importset"
    End With
    
Set ctrl2 = newmenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=1)
    With ctrl2
        .caption = "Import Price Guide"
        .Style = msoButtonCaption
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!importprice"
    End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim CmdBar As CommandBar
Dim CmdBarMenu As CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
Set CmdBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
Set CmdBarMenu = CmdBar.Controls("SetBuilder")
CmdBarMenu.Delete
Set CmdBarMenu = CmdBar.Controls("SetBilder")
CmdBarMenu.Delete
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try adding this at the start - if it finds the menu already exists, it won't recreate it:
Code:
For n = 1 To Application.CommandBars("Worksheet menu Bar").Controls.Count
  If Application.CommandBars("Worksheet menu Bar").Controls (n).Caption = "SetBilder-1955 Topps" Then End
Next n
