Can't see that makes much difference.

Apparently you believe that two census transcriptions of the same
material are going to be identical.
They might be if they are exact transcriptions.
That's not likely given the scale of activities.
And the resulting transcriptions always contain errors.
So the duel transcriptions serve a very useful purpose.
And of course if one is simply a copy of the other there are
probably license violations involved.
