I'm trying to complete an add request, but running into something that's never happened to me before: a duplicate ISBN.

Post for reference:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The ISBN in question is 9789848127018. The book is already in the system as "The quest of Zainul Abedin" by Burhanuddin Khan Jahangir.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

And a WorldCat entry confirms the data is correct:
https://search.worldcat.org/title/300...

However, the same ISBN is used for "বুদ্ধিমান ছেলে / Buddhimāna chele" by Anisul Hoque. Here is a WorldCat link:
https://search.worldcat.org/title/114...

And the user also supplied this Rokomari link:
https://www.rokomari.com/book/176930/...

I'm fairly certain these are two different books, since the authors, publication years and book genres don't match. The Librarian's Manual directed me here for help. Thanks for anyone who has the time to investigate!
