In the example above, the CA knows the SHA-1 hash of the cert it issued. (We
are assuming there is a CA which still does SHA-1.) How do you get that CA to
believe the two OTHER certs with DIFFERENT hashes you have to create so you
can have two docs with the same hash?

There's only 2 certs.  You generate 2 certs with the same hash, and *then* get
the CA to sign one of them.
