The two controls are having different object hierarchy. We can see this clearly in the Object Browser. If we map both the controls starting from their highest level parent control we can see that at some level both the controls will have  a different parent and hence we will be able to identify the controls uniquely if we can find properties combination that can identify this parent control uniquely
