that identify their source as being different feeds?
Why wouldn't they be? It would mean "Here's how the entry looked when it was published in feed A" and "Here's how the entry looked when it was in feed B". But if the publisher has assigned them the same ID, that's a fairly clear expression that they're versions of the same thing.
(obviously there's the danger of spoofing, but that's a general problem with IDs and not something that needs to be noted in every sentence)
