Why would Sree (Goddess Laxmi) will take form of Draupadi to be wife of Indras? This Sree is celestial Sree wife of Indra (Sachi)
And the faultless Draupadi, slender-waisted like the wasp, was born of a portion of Sachi (the queen of the celestials), in the line of Drupada

And the illustrious god of the formidable bow, from his kindness, granted unto the five Indras the desire they cherished. And he also appointed that woman of extraordinary beauty, who was none else than celestial Sri (goddess of grace) herself, to be their common wife in the world of men.
How can Indra appoint Goddess Laxmi?
"Vyasa continued, 'Thus, O king, they who have been born as the Pandavas are none else than those Indras of old. And the celestial Sri herself who had been appointed as their wife is this Draupadi of extraordinary beauty
The celestial Sri, having undergone severe ascetic penances, hath, for the sake of the Pandavas, had her birth as thy daughter, in the course of thy grand sacrifice.
Draupadi is always mentioned as Celestial Sri, This is the way of distinguishing between two people with same name, however one place where Sri is mentioned without the word "Celestial" is describing Rukmani
And a portion of Sri herself became incarnate on earth, for the gratification of Narayana, in the line of Bhishmaka. And she was by name the chaste Rukmini.

Note : In my opinion, Divinity was interpolation, Goddess Laxmi is not wife of Indra, She is wife of Lord Vishnu, Rukmani being Goddess Laxmi is mentioned in text and she was married to Krishna as well, so it is more logical
