No. ITK/GDCM will not use private tags for any reason. You must be
explicitely listing them as rules somewhere in your code to split out
your volume. You should double check your code.

Unless of course you were talking about Series UID, in which case yes
the two images will be explicitely set in two differents 'itk volume'
