Yes, you can do this as long as you have different application names. The application name is specified in the application parameters file in your Service Fabric Application (.sfproj) project. That application name value is used when Visual Studio invokes Service Fabric's New-ServiceFabricApplication PowerShell cmdlet. This means you can have two apps running in a cluster with the same application type and version as long as they have different application names. Or you could have different versions of the application type if you wish. As long as they have different application names, it doesn't matter; they're treated as unique applications.
