Look at the PCI addresses - they are:

0000:03:00.0
0000:03:00.1

The numbers after the "dot" are PCI function numbers, meaning that both 
*ports* of the dual-port NIC are in the same PCIe slot, in this case a 
x4 slot.

more generally, the format is:

DDDD:BB:SS.F

D == DOMAIN; B == BUS; S == SLOT; F == FUNCTION.  If domain, bus and 
slot are the same, but functions differ, the "devices" are in the same slot.
