Work Files tool save modified changes on scene open prompt confusing

What happened?

There's been a note on the Work Files tool by one of our artists regarding it asking to save or don't save on opening another scene. Somehow this one artist tries to go too quick and ends up clicking the wrong button.

This is the current prompt:

What did the user expect?

He asked instead to change the buttons "Yes" and "No" to "Save" and "Don't Save" which makes it more similar to e.g. what Maya does by default.

Maya's default prompt:

Houdini's default prompt:

And the best UX reference, Paint:

It does make the specific buttons more explicit and seems more in line with the hosts. I am wondering whether others have heard this too or feel the same (or indifferent about it).

Any thoughts on this?

Sure, sounds good to me.

Never heard the complaint, but don't see a reason not to change it as you're suggesting.
