I'm reading in other places that they do actually stack, it's just that the UI won't display two of the same icon that would indicate both arcanes of the same type are active simultaneously. So the only way to tell woul be to take some hits while one is active to see how much damage you take, then put both on and do the same thing.

To test that, I'd go to the simulacrum and spawn a squad of lancers in one place, numbering them so a single enemy spawns in a different part of the map. Let the lancers shoot you a bit, the activation won't take more than 5 seconds, then run over to the single enemy, (make sure its one that does alot of damage in one hit) and take a hit. Do this with one and then both arcanes equipped to see the difference. this is only if you don't think you can gauge the difference between the two while just getting beaten up on by lancers though, and using a frame like Nidus or Inaros will make it easier.
