In both desktop files you have to key/value pairs for an icon.

File1:
> Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png    '<-----------------
> Icon[en_GB]=sourcebank    '<-----------------
 
and

File2:
> Icon[en_GB]=sourcebank    '<-----------------
> Icon[en_GB]=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png

There should be normal only one icon=iconfile pair 
and should unique in the section.
If the country/language is in use like [en_GB] they
should also unique in the section.

In file2 you have 2 times Icon[en_GB]=....
For both files the 2 icon entries point use a different
path for the icons.

So in both files the key/value must be normal
File1:
> Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png
> Icon[en_GB]=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png
or
> Icon=sourcebank
> Icon[en_GB]=sourcebank


File2:
> Icon[en_GB]=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png
> Icon[en_GB]=/usr/share/pixmaps/sourcebank.png <--- this is double, not need to set
or
> Icon[en_GB]=sourcebank
> Icon[en_GB]=sourcebank <--- this is double, not need to set

Hope it is more clear now :=)
