Matching on the usb id is probably not a great idea, there is more id's
than the two you have found and there is also more than two non-unique 
mac addresses.

Example:

0200FFAAAAAA  19d2:1589/1592/1595
020CE70B0102  19d2:1040/1048/1405

You can easily find them by googling them, without colon separators you
will find them in verbose lsusb listings, with colons you will find them 
in dmesg pastings.

I would probably have found more dupes if users had refrained from using 
the stupid usbdevices cmd which removes almost all interesting info from 
device listings in internet foras.
