Image Repeated Intentionally, Should I Mark as Duplicate?

I was indexing records in the same batch and noticed they were the same except for a little note on the side (not a part of the document, probably a small slip of paper) that said, "Please Note: Document(s) Repeated Intentionally". The images were of the same page, not a copy of the information. Should I mark it as a duplicate image?

    If they are exact duplicates, mark the image as the duplicate of the original image (ex: Image 2 is a duplicate of Image 1).

    That's exactly what that filming note is saying: the image is a duplicate.

    (Granted, if the image that the camera operator marked as a duplicate was the only one of the two that was in your batch, you'd be ignoring the note and indexing the image, because in indexing, "duplicate image" only applies within a batch.)

    What if the duplicate also has other writing added to it such as the funeral time?

    If the document contains information that is not asked for, like funeral times, but everything is an exact duplicate of a previous image, it is marked as a duplicate.
