This is my understanding although to confuse things further, there is some suggestion that Sweden and Norway have different rules. I am following Simon Calder on this topic who has been vocal to put it mildly. But I'm confident that the two tests are separate, based on everything I have read on the matter. I would however also be in the "easier to just get a new passport" camp although that is academic for the OP at this point
