That's ok.

applications in parallel
what is the interest to have more than one bearerbox in the same
machine ?
none. You would run multiple bearerboxes on different machines
connecting to the same smsc for example. every one would handle the
same keywords in parallel.
Is it possible to connect two bearerbox installed in two different
machines to the same smsc with the same account ? for fault tolerance.
Depends a bit on the SMSC but basically yes.
in terms of MO processing this is no problem. Incoming SMS can be
handled by either bearerbox/smsbox bundle as long as the configs are
the same.
in terms of MT processing, there should be two different accounts as
the SMSC might return a delivery report to the wrong machine
otherwise. By using a different account, you make sure the delivery
report gets to the same machine who submitted it.
..or you can have shared dlr storage (as in a database) and work around
that.
but basically, if you want HA and load balancing, you'll want shared dlr
storage anyhow.
