A duplex is single dwelling with 2 units in the same structure.  2 single family residences would either be a 2 unit ineligible property type or it would be looked at as a single family residence with ADU, Accessory Dwelling Unit.To determine if it's 2 units, or a SFR with ADU they'll look at utilities, parcel numbers, etc.
