Are my EFI partitions mutually bootable? How to interpret the output of efibootmgr -v

Question

I have two GPT formatted disks both starting with EFI partitions and followed by a single physical raid partition. I installed ubuntu-server 16.04 with software raid over these two raid partitions and once it had installed, I cloned the EFI partition from the mounted EFI partition to the unmounted one using dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 and then inserted the second disk into the UEFI boot chain using sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdb -p 1 -L "ubuntu2" -l '\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi' so that if a disk broke I would still be able to boot from the other disk.

At some point I did apt upgrade and noted that grub was updated so I checked which EFI partition was mounted and cloned it to the other using the same dd command as earlier and then rebooted and checked the output of efibootmgr.

I notice that both HD boot entries begin with "ubuntu HD(1, ....". but I was expecting one of them to begin with "ubuntu2" (and maybe "HD(2, ..." ?)

My questions is: What does this output mean? Are these entries both referring to the same disk or to each disk as I expect? To ensure mutual bootability, do I need to delete the entries and then reinsert them as originally?

I'm afraid to shut down the system and remove a disk to test things in case I bring about a lot of downtime by doing something without properly understanding what's going on.

Worked this out, it is explained and answered in my related question: How can I generate/or edit a grub.cfg on each EFI partition that refers to the ubuntu installation on the same physical disk?
