Indeed! It's so easy that the IDV already has code written that attempts to do 
exactly that:

http://git.io/3uwF9Q

Okay, okay…apologies for the snark. I was able to verify the duplicate checker 
works by attempting to create two identical data sources via the "Sat & 
Radar>Images" chooser. Without knowing the specifics of your situation, here's 
what immediately comes to mind:

* Are you certain that the data sources are identical? An easy way to check 
would be to right click on the data sources in question and view their 
"Details" tabs--identical data sources should have identical details.

* Could there be any issues with bundles?

If you can replicate the problem please consider saving a bundle…or just use 
both "xidv" and "zidv" bundles to be safe.

Good luck!

Jon
