Tie breaking that share first Initials or first names.
I had to do similar with Series that had the same name but not in reality, the same authorial team (It is common in shared universes to have different writers for different stories. In this case, the series IS the same .)
when I discover differences, I simply add the creators initials eg (AN) for Andre Norton
