The other option I can think of, is that you could
change the unit number
on one of your RL02's, either by snapping fingers off the ready
indicator, or (probably a better idea) sticking small plastic rods or
similar into the holes where the fingers go in the ready lamp for the
2nd RL02, and use that.
I've done that with matchsticks, so I know it works. You just need to
know which of the "fingers" on the unit select to emulate. If you can't
get a spare "1" indicator, I'll go and look at mine to see where the
matchsticks would need to go.
I eventually made a whole set of indicators (0...3) out of perspex.
