I have had many issues around this in the past. If the images are the

quality/resolution then avoid duplicating what is currently on
Commons. However if your versions are, in your view, better quality then
there is no problem uploading them as they are not true duplicates.
Digitally identical duplicates should be rejected automatically at upload
as the files have matching SHA-1 checks.
Thats from normal upload. Gwtoolset may be different. Anyways they can be
dealt with after the fact too if they are exactly identical as its easy to
detect later.
Just to clarify, does the GWT ignore the SHA-1 based duplicate warning
and upload the digitally identical duplicate as a new file?
If it does, rather than skipping it or giving a warning, then this
seems like a bug.
