I found [http://dicsoft2.physics.iisc.ernet.in/pdbgoodies/ PDB Goodies] to take care of the chain renumbering. To get started, just a bit down the page I clicked the not overly obvious spot that said 'click here to see available options in PDB Goodies' to start and on the next page uploaded my pdb file. (Note on this page a link to <help> in the bottom right corner that does summarize what PDB Goodies does). And I chose 'Change Identifiers' and changed A and B to C and D easily using the form generated from my uploaded file and getting the results. (Note PDB goodies also renumbers residues numbers, generating a nice form using the file; I had problems when name of my uploaded file was very long (shortening name fixed it). )(When helping people with animations previously I had used 'alter' command right in Pymol (see http://pymol.sourceforge.net/newman/ref/S1000comref.html) and ran 'sort' command after each altering to change chain designations.) For renumbering the atom numbers I found [http://www.mayachemtools.org/docs/scripts/html/ModifyPDBFiles.html this page] of documentation for [http://www.mayachemtools.org/ Maya Chem Tools] which does a lot more manipulating of PDB files than just what I found it for but it is for installing with Perl. So I gave up and wrote my own Python script and as I did it, I realized that I also need to discard lines that involved atoms designated 'H5*' that I assume came from Model It.
