And so does vol_id.

That sounds like an operator error, if you ask me. The filesystem on
both software RAID volumes *was* in fact the same.  If you just broke
the array and start using both disks independently without recreating
the filesystem, of course they will have the same UUID.  Don't shoot me
if I am missing something, just saying.
