100% normal. Welcome to tor. No, no clue why ;)

I was contemplating possible security considerations behind this. One particular person or organization responsible for the administration of multiple guards, when guards are sensitive because users connect to them directly... That sort of thing.

The alternative might be messed up node configurations, so I thought I'd better ask. ;-)

It is normal to run multiple nodes in one family and have most or all of them get the Guard flag. I don't see why two specifically must be any special (unless you mean both on the same IP?).
