No, the above do not have the same meaning.

Let me put this differently. When we go to the open mic and we state our name & 
affiliation, what is the purpose of that? The affiliation matters more than the 
name. Two persons affiliated with the same organisation cannot be counted as a 
plural representation because the affiliation is singular.
