Duplicate Information on separate images with 2 documents per image

I am indexing military discharge records and have found that some Images have two documents per image. I have found that one side of the image is a duplicate for another record in a separate image in the same batch, but the second document from the first image still needs to be indexed. Is there a way to say this image/ Entry # is a duplicate of that image/entry#? I know how to do the Image duplicate/image duplicate.

Image 1.JPG
image 2.JPG

This is an example. The top left image shows the same data as the bottom left image. They are both from the same batch. How should proceed without inputting duplicate records under different entries?

Thanks for any help

    It is important to share your batch and not to post images from the batches. To share a batch, click on the third icon from the right and copy and paste the link or batch code. You can also just copy and paste the URL or the title and batch code from the top of the image.

    Having worked on these a little bit, I know from the project instructions that you would index each of these documents since they are all military discharge documents. A duplicate image is an exact photographic image of the same document. So these are not duplicates. IF the documents for the same soldier were on the same image, then you would be able to combine the information from the documents. But, since that is not the case, you create an entry for each document.
