Can you inspect output of
SELECT oid, nspname, quote_ident( nspname ) FROM pg_namespace WHERE
nspname = '%HR1610%'

and see if there's a character provoking this (could it need to be
redirect to a file and inspect with an editor).
I suspect this is the problem why your schema cannot be "named" as it is.
On a desperate approach, I would try to update pg_namespace to force
the naming of such schema, but I don't tend to work against the
catalog in production...and since you don't seem to have a backup I
would do a few more experiments first.
