Well this may seem stupid to some people but I had 8GB of GSkill rip jaws ram installed in my computer 2X4GB sticks and I needed 16GB of RAM so I found the same kit second hand or what I thought was and it's came and I noticed it was the same kit same model numbers and everything but I noticed the casing around the ram was different (heat spreader) and I wondered if both these ram sticks are the same just different designs I'm just worried one stick may effect the performance of the other stick there both 1600MHz and all 4 are all the same spec I'll attach pictures thanks

Solution
Just plug them in and see. 1600 isn't a high clock speed so either it will work just fine or the two pairs will refuse to work together.
