They've confirmed on their talkpage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:O%27Dea&oldid=468274796. 

O'Dea has said on my talk that the edits on the Odea account were accidental
(because of SUL issues). I'm hoping it's possible to merge the edit histories;
however, I understand this may be an unusual practice.
