Yes; but in this case, the different phrasings are clearly set out
together on the one page. Well-spotted, Keith.

Actually, Mozart quite often does different phrasings simultaneously
in different instruments. The technique can be thought of as
analogous to the use of brushstrokes in painting; the COMBINATION of
the different phrasings produces the effect he was after. (See bar 5
of the Clarinet Quintet.)

But of course, that notion doesn't make sense unless you possess the
concept of 'beginning-oriented' phrasing.
