They are fraternal twins from what I can tell. They each had an embryo they fertilized implanted in the woman. The woman was NOT the egg donor, only the incubator.

I know. you need a flow chart to keep up with the deviancy. It gives me a headache.

I think they would be half-brothers is the same woman donated the eggs.

Actually, they'd be more like step-fraternal twins, as they have different fathers. (Assuming both eggs came from the same woman.) If the eggs were different, then they wouldn't be related at all.

They’re not fraternal twins, because fraternal twins still share the same two parents. These are “womb-mates” I guess, but they’re not twins under any ordinary meaning of that term.
