There is no point shipping these with different filenames but identical Product strings is there?
Ideally the duplicate PS PPDs should be unique. Each PPD does have a unique device-id. This is reflected by the unique PPD file names.
Unfortunately this problem is due to our conversion process for Mac PPDs. We will attempt to fix this discrepancy in the future.
