Machine serial numbers

I'm going through our corporate list of machines and offline licenses and found something interesting. I'm told by people who have been here a while that this is true, but frankly I find it hard to believe you can hide a 9.15.8 machine from someone who is looking for CMMs.

In the proposal list I have two lines that have different software ID's and different serial numbers, everything else is EXACTLY the same. And the problem is these are the serial numbers (I've changed them but left the important part there)

1115-5547UA
1116-5547UA

I think they're the same machine... I've been around the block before, I know how to read serial numbers, and I'm having a hard time believing they built the same exact configuration one year apart and assigned the same serial number...
