I had a USB flash drive which I backed using Back-ups (Duplicity) on Fedora 31. The USB volume was called /run/media/awood/7160-75C1

I then used the same USB flash drive to create a Fedora 32 Live Image on it. After this, the USB volume was called /run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6

How do I restore the contents of the USB flash drive so that it has the same contents as the /run/media/awood/7160-75C1 ??

You need to reformat it with the original filesystem id. Open a terminal and use "fdisk -l" to make sure you have the right device. I'm going to assume the drive is /dev/sdb and only has one partition. Make sure it's unmounted by running:
umount /run/media/awood/Fedora-WS-Live-32-1-6
Don't click the eject button because that will also disconnect it from USB. Then run "sudo mkfs.fat -i 716075C1 /dev/sdb1". Replug the device and it should come up as before.
