God divides, and it's okay. There are seven distinct flames sitting before God. Moses saw them on the mountain, I daresay, because God told him, "See that you build everything as you saw it" and he built a candlestick with seven flames. Multiplicity is good, in this regard. Division is not bad, but really what we'd call "multiplication". One flame became seven. But the light was one. God divided the flames and it was good. (and, did you ever see lightning?)
Answer: we don't know if they looked identical or not. We see star differ from star in glory and evidently that's okay (1 Cor 15:41). Let's not presume identical appearance if it isn't stated or even inferred from common, everyday sense of the words as they were written.

Continuing with your thought . . .
Perhaps then 7 Golden Lampstands in Revelations 2-3 are the same Golden Lampstand in the heavens duplicated in those 7 different towns with assemblies in the name of Jesus?
If Jesus, the Son of Man, walked in the 7 towns of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, etc. does that mean there were 7 Jesus's, or just the same Son of Man walking in the midst of every assembly gathered in His name?
