^look at that 2 there
My questions are: What are these duplicate, and identical, files doing in multiple places on my system;
those are hard-linked, most likely the same file in both subdirs (not identical files, a single file hard-linked twice)
the /etc/sysconfig/networking/* subdirs can exist on C5 as well, I think they're used by system-config-network
and why are they evidently interfering with the normal processing of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts through the service utility?
on a C6 machine I have those dirs are empty, as on your C5 system. I probably never used system-config-network on it. Networking through /etc/init.d/network functions fine without them.
Files in /sysconfig/networking/profiles/ are not hardlinks. As the last name suggests, those are files from Profiles. And using "ll" command is blinding you. If you use "ls -lR /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/* :

Both C5 and C6 have "network" service able to create and switch to multiple profiles. For example, switching to profile "WiFiKuca" is done with:
"system-config-network-cmd -p WiFiKuca -a"
In sub-directories of /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/ are stored originals of your configuration, and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ has only files from current active profile.
