Answer is: yes, C1585.00 supersedes C1531.02 so only apply the later patch.
I suspected as much but wanted second opinion before installing on remote
machines.
Original question:
For the above mentioned patches, I have reviewed which files will be
delivered.
Am I correct in thinking that C1585.00 supersedes C1531.02, as they both
deliver the same file? So there is no point in applying patch C1531.02
first?
For reference I paste the deliverables here;
T64KIT0022125-V51AB24-E-20040414

As this is a patch kit release, it would have superseded the old one
(ideally!).

That is correct, if they both deliver just the one kernel
module file (/sys/BINARY/std_kern.mod) then applying the
later patch will either force you to remove the earlier
patch, or there is a defect in the kitting :^) Ideally,
the later patch (T64KIT0023109-V51AB24-E-20040729) has
the fix from the earlier patch built in; I'd have to do
some investigation to be sure whether this is the case.
