Both the 25-06, and the 270 Win, are really 25-06, and 277-06, and one must be very careful when loading for both. The 270 case can be resized in the 25-06 die, and becomes a 25-06, regardless of what the headstamp says, and when you fired the 25-06 in the 270 chamber, you fireformed the brass to 270 Win. You can spit farther than the difference between these two cartridges, for all practical purposes they are the same cartridge, BUT, ARE NOT interchable. It puzzels me, that in a place where it is not easy to own any kind of firearm, why anyone would have two different cartridges that are so much alike! I would pick which ever one you like the best, and trade, or rebarrel the other for something in the .30 cal, or maybe 7mm mag range, Either of these rifles can be re-barreled for something like 30-06, or even 300 Win Mag, and with one of the smaller of the rifles combined with the 300 Win Mag, you would have a far better range of game coverage!
