The same 997 was sent to BBBBBBBB:BBBBBBBB and BBBBBBBB:XXXXXXXX. The content is duplicate, the routing is unique.
In Mark Jasper's question, it seems that he is not sure whether he should process both messages. We could almost assume that he was expecting back a single 997. If a single 997 per 855 is his expectation, then the messages are duplicate.
On the other hand, if he has two departments who need to be aware of the ACK, then they would not be duplicates. However, we would think he would know if he had two departments to route to and he wouldn't have had to ask the question in the first place.
It ultimately up to Mark Jasper to determine the answer.

On its face, this is a coincidence ... not a duplication. The different
GS IDs indicates two different trading relationships. The context of
a transaction set goes from outside in. It is acknowledging the
successful transmission of 855 #114 and 855 #115 from company
AAAA to company BBBB, group 1111 to group BBBB. A second
set of 2 855s were sent to group XXXX in company BBBB. We don't
know if they are really just two buyers who share one desk, or two
different companies within a corporation, located on opposite sides of
the Earth. We do know they are sufficiently distinct to have their own
group IDs.
Logically, I agree it is most likely this is a mistake on the part of the
sender,
and that the 997 was sent improperly at least once.
