We would expect one ISSN because we assume the publications are identical.
In the world of serial multiple versions, the only place you find separate
ISSNs is where the new version is truly not the same thing as the
corresponding paper (or other original) title--to date particularly the
electronic journal, which ordinarily differs in coverage and other ways..
Even there the ISSN is the same if it remains a true reproduction (J-Stor
journals, which use bitmapped images of the original pages, have been
assigned the same ISSN as the print.)
