Hard to believe, considering zillions of Nomads II I got, but true.

No. Application takes the first Nomad II it finds.

But more seriously we were not talking about which is which
but about whether the rights given for access to different,
let's say, Nomads should be different.

In my opinion if user is allowed to access one Nomad - he/she
should be allowed to access any - thus, from the point of
security, it does not matter which Nomad is which.
For me this is a general rule.

Of course if the device contains some kind of rights control,
as for example usb-storage with ext2 (Nomad uses FAT12),
they should be respected-but this is different level.

So for me rights granted on the VendorId:ProductId basis
sound fine.
