This would be an administrative T as the uniforms themselves are legal but the listing in the book with both legal numbers is not legal.
If either of the players wanted to play, one would need to change and there would be no further penalty as the single administrative T would have already been incurred.

I would have to disagree that they are considered identical numbers. I believe the intent to not have both on the roster is to eliminate possible confusion when reporting fouls. I would say illegal, yes. Identical, no. If two players have identical numbers, someone has to get a different number. But, both 0 and 00 can both play, at the expense of a T.
