وجهان لعملة واحدة
I agree with the answer provided above, but may add that Tweedledum and Tweedledee are two characters from "Through the looking-glass" (better known as Alice in Wonderland). They are identical in the way they look, act and talk.
From Bartleby.com: "Figuratively, any two people or positions that have no real differences"

You can translate an idiom by its meaning or you can search for an equivalent in Arabic ( such as : فولة و انقسمت نصفين , yet this equivalent is more suitable to describe the physical appearance ) .. I will try to find you another equivalent , until then you can translate it using the meaning ..
