Additional Info:

( good work when base object Editable Poly to Editable Poly and Editable Mesh to Editable Mesh )
- Convert code to .mse

update V 1.3
- Support, copy material as option.
- Support, copy material ID as option.
- Support, copy UVW Mapping as option.

note:
Limited for poly to poly :
- Only copy UVW Mapping can not use by undo.

- Copy UVW Mapping & material ID can not use by undo.
- The script does not work well if source or selection have modifiers.

for Reset object material ID you can use the other macro tool here: Brutal_SET_ID

select one or multiple object - run this macroscript and then pick another object having material, it's automatic paste into object selection.

Great script

This is a great script to copy material IDs between identical objects!!! this is a typical problem when they are lost when exporting importing to other programs.

Updated with your suggestion

Updated with your suggestion tassel, version 1.3 is support copy UVW mapping.

FYI :
If you have some trouble with vertex/edge/face number for fix the identical number you can use: morphix tool from Martijn van Herk. I tried it in max 2009 32-bit. goodluck.
