For the most part they would be unique. Exceptions might be when the photographer took more then one shot of the same scene (though there would likely be slight differences in the poses), or in the case of duplicate negatives. (A photo of a photo).
A lot of the glass "slides" that we see offered are usually photo of a photo types mocked up for whatever slide show they were being used for.
I use an Epson V700 scanner to scan negs as large as 8x10.
