An interesting AIS transponder question

Well, of interest to me. Let's say, a vessel does have 2 transponders on board. Both programmed the same. One being a spare. Now, by accident, both are switched on and transmitting.
How would that appear on your AIS receiver? Would you see 2 targets? Or, with identical MMSI, would they sit on top of each other and you would be seeing only 1 target?
