No, it shouldn't be the same.

br0 -> bridge (on host)
bond0 -> bond interface, which has eth0 as slave (on host)
vethXXX -> veth interface for the container (on host)
eth0 (on container) -> the pair of vethXXX on host

Unless I misunderstood something?

Does the private container use the private interface of the
dual-interface container as gateway?

If not, then it wont work.
