Well, I suppose it is possible that it was the same guard. The Elves seemed to have rather lax internal security. They trusted in their "magic" gates.

As I recall, the Elves let Gollum climb the tree because they were trying to be nice to him. When he would not come down they did not go up to get him. The guards were then killed by an attack of orcs. If there is any blaming to be done it should be of the watchers and scouts who did not see this enemy force. Not the guards that did not know about the danger.
