7.1.2. Use identical labels for form fields that have the same purpose
Whenever you have two or more fields with exactly the same purpose on the same page, their label must also be identical.
Examples
In this example, regardless of the tab, the labels “From” and “To” are identical. It would have been bad practice, for example, to put “To” on one tab and “Arriving in” on another.
