If your figures are almost identical, I would avoid this at all costs
- unless the figures would be on facing (recto and verso) pages. In my
view, it would be less confusing to have both figures on their own
page - assuming both can fit on a page. Make that page landscape if
necessary.
An alternate approach would be to have your figures in situ, but to
inset a small thumbnail-sized graphic showing the important part of
the other image (i.e. zoomed in), so that the reader can see what's
different.
