converting XML to hash/dict/CustomTreeCtrl

[Astan Chee]

Hi,
I have xml files that I want to convert to a hash/dict and then further 
placed in a wx CustomTreeCtrl based on the structure. The problem I am 
having now is that the XML file is very unusual and there aren't any 
unique identifiers to be put in a dict and because there are no unique 
variables, finding the value of it from a CustromTreeCtrl is abit tricky.
I would appreciate any help or links to projects similar to this.
Thanks

The XML file looks something like this:
