How many different "apps" will you have?
Will there only ever be two - or might you potentially have more?
At first sight, it would probably make sense to turn this into a
table, and use 'app'
as an index into the table.
If there are inherently only these two possibilities, then you need to
give them different
names. You could then merge the last levels together:
appAMessagesPending
appAMessagesSent
appBMessagesPending
appBMessagesSent
But it's not really possible to offer advice without knowing what the
problem actually is.
You wouldn't start designing a program by choosing the variable names.
Why should designing a MIB be any different.
It has to be driven by the underlying problem.
Which you haven't said anything about at all!

How on earth can I answer that?
Until the MIB design is finished, you don't even know whether it's
going to be a table or not. Let alone where the information will
come from, how frequently it will be updated (and who by), etc, etc.
All of this will influence the choice of MIB template.
