It does not exclude the possibility of you choosing to show both, but it does not require both to be shown to meet the criteria. I can't think of any usage of the word "either" where the meaning would be "each and every" - the word either inherently introduces some list of alternatives. | |

The original is in point form, and "or" is omitted, so I think they would only look at one of them. However I would carry both in case of problems, eg water on paper, flat phone battery etc. | |
