Since you mention "proper times", your context must be relativity; it
does not matter whether SR or GR, because "travel an identical path"
means they travel along a single worldline through spacetime -- i.e.
they are always co-located and co-moving, so of course their elapsed
proper times are equal (counting from any event on their worldline).

Your "in equal observable times" is redundant. For any
observer this directly follows from them following the
same worldline through spacetime.

Can you help further explain for the rest of us why
this isn't necessarily the usual interpretation or
why it sort of doesn't arrive at the same results of
some of the usual thought experiments like the traveling twins?
In the twins scenario, twins does not share the same
space-time path.
