Pollinated Ashtons 694 greenie with both the 1912 and 2554, the 2554 was the bottom ovary/ stigma lobe, the other 3 were the 1912.

Ive never tried to get two controlled pollinations within the same pumpkin. There's a chance a grain of pollen could fall off one stigma lobe onto the other stigma lobe. The pollen must be applied with meticulous care to get good coverage but not brush the wrong lobe. The seeds will have to be harvested carefully and only seeds connected to the correct area within the pumpkin will be 'controlled' loose seeds will be uncontrolled.

This is probably getting confusing.
