If you follow strict theory, then, by definition, neither site could or would appear in google.
Because only a site that is linked to from another site can be found by the spiders, and therefore has enough value to be included in the database.
(There's one technicality - google ranks "pages", not "sites" - so, if the spider did find the site...)
You're going to say, no, it's been submitted to google. Then you have to believe that submitting to google has function anymore. Some people might believe that. I don't know or care, and haven't even seen the google submission page in years.
In practice, I have no idea, and the situation is too artificial to be of any practical application.
Personally, since the sites are identical except for one insignificant checksum number, and unspiderable, I think google would not include either in the database. There are thought to be billions of pages that aren't databased.
