Sutra 10
चतुष्पदद्विपदानामपि हि रूपलिङ्गसामान्यं भवति किमङ्ग पुनरेकयोनिद्रव्यकर्तृप्रसूतानां कुप्याभरणभाण्डानामिति ॥ कZ_०४.६.१० ॥
catuṣpadadvipadānām api hi rūpaliṅgasāmānyaṃ bhavati; kimaṅga punar ekayonidravyakartṛprasūtānāṃ kupyābharaṇabhāṇḍānām iti ।
Incluso entre cuadrúpedos y bípedos puede haber semejanza de forma y de marcas identificativas; con mayor razón en bienes como artículos trabajados, adornos y recipientes producidos a partir del mismo material de origen y por el mismo artesano—es decir, pueden parecer iguales.

As an analogy: if even living beings can look similar, manufactured items from the same material/maker can be even harder to distinguish without corroboration.
