"internalcommands" means largely undocumented, which is why they
aren't in the help file (although the 4.1.18 PDF help does mention
some of internalcommands commands).

Use "VBoxManage internalcommands" to get some help on those.
internalcommands won't help you if your intent is to run the two VMs
on the same host instance.
internalcommands sethduuid can set a different UUID, but the cloning
process already does that.
internalcommands sethduuid can set the SAME UUID, but a simple file
copy already does that.

If you use a COPY (rather than a clone), and run the two copies on
different host instances, then that would work.
VirtualBox installed on HostA running Linux and VirtualBox installed
on HostA running Windows are different hosts (but you have to reboot
the host).

Possibly VirtualBox installed on HostA logged in as user A and
VirtualBox installed on HostA logged in as user B are also DIFFERENT
hosts, because the ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml file is separate for
those (AFAIK).  I'm not sure how the VirtualBox services/daemons work
in that case, but logging in as a different users might let it work,
if the users have different ~/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml files.
