Default Natural Hybrids

If two species form a hybrid, with certain characteristics, and then in a
completely different locale, the same two species independently form a hybrid,
with different characteristics, are the two different hybrid forms the same
species?

As far as I know, they would carry the same hybrid taxon name, but they would
be listed as different cultivars.
