Can someone provide some guidance around Rune Priests, Psychic Powers, and the Leaders of the Pack Rule?

For example, if I take 2 Rune Priests can they both roll on divination? What if they roll the same power?

FAQ:

Page 81 – Space Wolves Army List, Leaders of the Pack.
Change the second sentence of the second paragraph to read
“To represent this, no two Independent Characters may bear
the same saga, nor may they bear the same psychic powers or
wargear combination.”

So, does that mean they have to re-roll duplicate powers, and you can't take Prescience on both unless they already have different powers? Or do you just need to have different Sagas, if any, and different wargear, and then they can have the same powers?

I'm leaning towards having different Sagas, different wargear and different powers, and therefore re-rolling duplicate powers.

Q: Can you clarify how The Leaders of the Pack works with regards
to psychic powers? (p81)
A: No number of Rune Priests may share the exact same two
psychic powers. For example, a Rune Priest may choose to take
Living Lightning and Thunderclap. A second Rune Priest may
then choose to take Living Lighting and Jaws of the World
Wolf, as he will not have the same two psychic powers as the
first Rune Priest. Note that the restriction on weapons and
wargear still applies, so you have to have each Rune Priest with
a unique wargear selection. Also note that Njal Stormcaller
knows all seven powers rather than just two, so no other Rune
Priest can end up having the same powers. Thus it is permitted
to take Njal Stormcaller alongside other Rune Priests. If you
choose instead to take psychic powers from the disciplines in
the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, this restriction does not
apply, as the specific powers are selected randomly

Yup...that's the one I was looking for.
