I guess I don't see any major issue if this is all you want to do.
Simply create QCLSRC and QDDSSRC in a different library (without the
PF-38-SRC attribute), copy your source to the new files, delete the
PF38-SRC files and move the new QCLSRC and QDDSSRC files back to the
original library. It may take you an hour at most.

Using save\restore as described by Mark is ideal; even maintaining
the Member Level Identifiers:

However if one were to use a _copy_ feature instead, then...
The CPYSRCF command has a Source Change Date (SRCCHGDATE) parameter
which may make that command preferable over CPYF [for the ability to ask
for the preferred outcome to maintain that value]:

"Copying to and from source files using the Copy Source File (CPYSRCF)
command
The Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) command is designed to operate with
database source files. Although it is similar in function to the Copy
File (CPYF) command, the CPYSRCF command provides defaults that are
normally used for copying a source file.
...
Source change date (SRCCHGDATE)
Specifies, for new members added to the to-file, or if MBROPT(*REPLACE)
was specified, whether the 'Last source update date/time' will be a new
date/time, or copied from the 'Last source update date/time' of the
member in the from-file.
*FROMMBR
The 'Last source update date/time' of the new member in the
to-file, or if MBROPT(*REPLACE) was specified, will be the same as the
member being copied.
*NEW
The 'Last source update date/time' of the new member in the
to-file, or if MBROPT(*REPLACE) is specified, will be a new date/time.

"The Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) command copies a database source file or
DDM file to a source physical file or DDM file and converts the
character data from the from-file CCSID to the to-file CCSID.
...
This command provides similar support as the Copy File (CPYF) command.
Note that the default for the MBROPT parameter is *REPLACE (unlike other
copy commands), which clears existing records in the receiving member of
the to-file before replacing them with records copied from the
from-file. Also, the default for the TOMBR parameter is *FROMMBR, which
causes from-file members to be copied to like-named to-file members.

"You can use the Copy Source File (CPYSRCF) and Copy File (CPYF)
commands to write data to and from source file members.
When you are copying from a database source file to another database
source file that has an insert trigger associated with it, the trigger
program is called for each record copied.
