Only 1" ?  (1" center to center or edge to edge spacing?)

My gut reaction is that "coupling" between the two antennas may have 
some effect on some of the variation. You may in fact have 
unintentionally created a phased array. This phased array could favor 
one antenna in an particular Az/El and favor the other in another Az/El. 
If not too arduous it would be good to  separate the antennas by several 
feet, run the data again then swap mountings of the antennas and run yet 
another set of data
