The samples definitely came from the same person or identical twins.
Explanation: identical banding patterns mean the DNA profiles match. Non-twin relatives share some bands but not an identical full pattern; unrelated people almost never have exactly the same profile. (In practice matches are reported with statistical confidence rather than absolute certainty.)
