If the original entry had more than one comment then yes. Swissprot 
should have always only one comment I'd claim, but I really don't know 
for sure.

This is hardly possible. Theoretically it can happen if you assigned 
the same namespace to both datasources and chose to update records when 
loading the second datasource, but then the records needed to have the 
same accession numbers, which GenBank and Swissprot really don't. 
Otherwise, if you assigned different namespaces the bioentries will be 
different.
