I am using a PAL version and your save files work fine. I loaded it and was up to the final boss fight. I am just unsure as to how to get the trophies from your save file to overwrite my ones? Forgive me if I have misunderstood but i was under the assumption that the save file would pick up what you have done and overwrite mine
No it overwrites your save and game progress only, if you haven't gotten the 'Zeus May cry' trophy yet try and beat the final Boss to get it, use the second updated save made by merrick97 it'll be easier with the costume

and to get the challenges trophy just beat one challenge and you’re good to go.
Edit:
i reread your post and i got the feeling that you haven't tried that before, i mean using another saves to get trophies, especially when you said 'I was able to copy your save files over using Xploder but for some reason the trophies didn’t get updated' it doesn’t work like that you need to do some specific stuff to trigger the trophies, for example in order to get the 'Zeus May cry' you need to beat the game on hard, and that save is right before the final Boss just survive the fight and kick his butt to get the trophy

and to get the 'God Amongst Men' trophy, you just have to finish one challenge again to trigger the trophy, the saves overwrites your in-game progress not your trophy data, trophy data are located on a different partition of your PS3 HDD
