I think it is probably more common than people think. I think it happens all the time. As an example, my Samsung tablet has the exact same name as a previous version. The only distinction is that it has a date listed with it for the year of release. I know this because looking up information on it requires you to specify the date as most articles about it, or forum posts asking for help addressing issues use the date signifier and not the specific model ID. Same with my phone. It is a specific Kyocera model, but subtle distinctions make it hard to find the right information if you don't know exactly what you are looking for.
