identicals

Exactly the same ones

Identicals are things that are exactly alike, most often identical twins.

The word appears in contexts where sameness itself is the point: The identicals were dressed differently so teachers could tell them apart.

In retail or manufacturing, identicals may refer to duplicate items or matching units.
