Ever year, though not every issue, we report different types of error on Prestige Stamp Books: missing panes, duplicate panes, inverted pane, perforation errors, miscuts, and so on.
But we've never had anything quite like the one in the image that was sent to me today.

| Churchill PSB definitive pane on Tallents House FDC - with duplicated datamatrix code! |
My thanks to IG for sharing this with us all. It's an amazing error - and of course there must be more because however these are printed, in whatever sheet or reel format (probably the latter as it is especially for automatic addition to Royal Mail first day covers) - each of the stamps should have a unique datamatrix code. The two codes on each stamp are indeed different.
If anyone else has received a similar error, it will be very interesting to know just how many we can record.
