Yes, but......you need to make sure that the two DC resistances are the same, or
the current will divide unequally. 'Identical' chokes may well have different DC
resistances. They need to be mounted such that the magnetic fields don't
interact, or the inductance could be wildly different. They also need to be
mounted such that they are at the same temperature, or the resistances will
differ.
