The one with the shorter menu (on the right in the screenshots) is "indicator-network", removing it and its associated system settings application (you are prompted for this when you remove indicator-network) will remove it from the bar. You can remove it with:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-network
I had the same problem after I stopped network manager autorunning and then enabled it again.
For Lubuntu users only:
From the main menu select Preferences > Default applications for LXSession. In the window that then appears, click on the Autostart tab, then click the remove button next to @nm-applet in the section Manual autostarted applications.
Log off then on again, and there should now be just one icon.
