It looks to me like CB 07990034 over CB 07993633.

I agree the serial number is CB 07993633 under CB 07990034 as serial numbers are printed down, then when cut and stacked, they are in numerical order... I know USA Currency serial number skip-numbering and assigned Plate Positions by serial number...
I do not know Australia's Currency serial number system used, and if they follow The Bank of England £20 error note, the first 2 digits are the Plate Position, and the following 6 numbers are the same on the 40 subject sheet...
If the same holds true for Australia's Currency, and there are 45 notes per sheet, my guess is that this is from Plate Position 7 and the other 44 notes would have the same last 6 numbers from both printings on the sheet (unless they cut the sheets in sections ((USA COPE cuts 32 subject sheets in half vertically before serialing a 1/2 sheet of 16 notes)) prior to numbering), then the number would be less.
What I don't understand is, if the sheet entered the numbering system twice, there should be the same double serial numbers on both sides, yet the left side looks like it never received a 2nd set of serial numbers..
The owner of this note should take high resolution photos of both sides and eMail them to whoever prints Australian Currency and ask them for verification of this error...

In Australia the 07 indicates the year (2007) and the rest of the numbers are shared by the entire sheet (I don't think sheets are subdivided). Not sure how many notes to a $10 sheet but it varies by denomination. It's possible the other numbers are doubled - kind of looks like it but thetwo serial numbers are in different fonts.
