I'd suggest that a better merge would be to keep the second
object as a child of 'xyz' rather than 'abc'.   Since it's presumably
counting the number of XYZ messages transferred.


I'd also suggest using the group name as a prefix to the
object name.   This is the normal convention for MIB
management objects,  and means that the distinction
between 'abcNoOfMessages' and 'xyzNoOfMessages'
is reasonably clear from the names.

Calling them 'noOfMessages' and 'noOfMessages2' is
nigh on meaningless!
