I would have to actually see the output of gpg --list-keys
to definitively answer but...

1) be wary distributing any information related to private
   keys. So you probably shouldn't show anybody the output
   of --list-secret-keys...

2) "fingerprints" are distillation of some large amount of
   information down to a very small set of information with
   the property that if two large chunks differ by even a
   small amount then the keys will differ as well (and
   preferably will differ by a great deal.

So you should be able to tell if you are talking about
the same keys by comparing their fingerprints.

I don't know what the "sub" is either.
