I would think one was the target address and the other was the change address.
And then if I went so far as to double check that the other address was a change address, Iād do so by looking in the list of addresses for my wallet in Electrum.
But in our scenario I am using a backdoored Electrum. And therefore it could be showing a mixture of the real addresses that belong to me in that list alongside addresses belonging to a different wallet that was set to show up there by whoever backdoored my copy of Electrum.
