In some cases the pulisher's original might be say a Word document, and both the kepub and epub get created directly from the Word document. In other cases the kepub might get created from the Word document, but the publisher supplies a seperate epub that was created via a different process (such as a Calibre conversion of a mobi that was created from the original Word document, in which case the kepub version might be closer to the publisher's original than the epub is).
In the eBooks we've mentioned, I would highly doubt that would happen. It would be more work on the publisher's side to supply a different source when they've already created an ePub. Plus, that would mean that if any changes to the text was made in the ePub, the other source file would also have to be fixed. I don't see that happening. It's just duplication of work and more unneeded work on top.
