I'm talking about two different trajectories. Different inclinations,
different semimajor axes, (very) different eccentricities, (very)
different geocentric velocities. There is no plausible mechanism for
ending up with two pieces of the same body in such radically different
orbits- it would require first separating them, and then subjecting each
to a different history of three-body interactions.
If the "foremost" celestial mechanics expert in your country says the
two are similar, he is not competent. I don't notice him speaking out.

What the heck are you talking about?
They are quite similar. It would not at this point say they are identical.
In WHAT way are they _completely different_, elaborate please.
And don't be so d** arrogant, for christ sake.
I could mention that the foremost celest mechanican in my country says they
are strangly similar, and he has been working for NASA and the Voyagers,
and he has
an asteroid named after him.
