GUID is the unique identifier for a report. In a workspace GUID is unique but the same report name can appear multiple times. This can happen in a few ways:

1. You have an existing report in the workspace, deleted it then republish, it will be assigned with a new GUID

2. If you save a copy of a report in the workspace (re-using existing dataset in the workspace), you can re-use existing report name, but GUID will be different

3. You renamed an existing report in the workspace using an existing other existing report name in the workspace.

 

Those are some scenarios where you may have same name but different GUID.
