What is missing from your message is whether this data is 2D or 3D. 
Assuming they are 3D and the coordinate system of models has not been 
modified/altered between the two landmarking sessions,  you can just append 
the sets together, just make sure to remove those four redundant points 
from one of the sets.

If it is 2D things get more complicated depending on whether you have taken 
the landmarks from the same view or different views.
