It is my understanding (crosscheck this) that they are the same, and the
use of two allows the ECU to determine which cylinder is actually
knocking, so it can retard the timing on only that cylinder.

The two KS's are different, again I am not certain here, because the
wires aren't the same length.

Maybe someone who knows they have two correct parts can chime in and 
tell you what's on their car.
