It depends a bit on the platforms - some use the same MAC, some change.

Theoretically, it shouldn't matter - they're in different VLANs, so it doesn't
matter if the MAC address is the same, since the mac address table takes into
account the VLAN.

Check out this link for a little more info and some examples:
