If each unit is sending the same data it seems it would be a single target just updated twice as often 
In Response To: You'd be two "targets" on top of one another ()
The only difference between the two transmissions would be the transmission slot that they are using;
I think that the slot information is at a very low level and probably ignored by (or not available to) the higher level receive functions; Slot information is not included in the NMEA !AIVDM message.
Of course if the position data from the two units was different, a receive station might see your position jumping around.
Or, maybe I haven't got a clue.
Cheers,
JM.
