Spent a month checking, this is what I suspect is the complete list of 'sporadic' or 'exceptional' pairs. No restriction that they be in the same genus or have the same discriminant. I was able to check discriminant ratio $4$ and discriminant ratio $1$ very high. The other ones just seem sort of random little sets, two quadruples (see the repeated forms). Also some patterns that dry up, discriminants $111,333,999$ but not $2997,$ also on the left $24, 72, 216, 648, 1944,$ but not $5832.$ This last begins with three pair of regular forms, I typed those in. The list of pairs of regular forms that agree is enormous.

These are pairs of positive quadratic forms that represent the
same numbers, and violate a Kaplansky conjecture.  

Delta : A B C R S T     means

f(x,y,z) = A x^2 + B y^2 + C z^2 + R y z + S z x + T x y,

and Delta = 4ABC + RST - A R^2 - B S^2 - C T^2.

The two pair within a genus each are
232 :   3   5     5   3  1  3      232 :  3   3     7   1  2  1
648 :   5   7     7   6  1  5      648 :  5   5     8   0  4  3

The most productive discriminant ratio  is 4, 
which includes Kap's two infinite families, also
 24 :   1   2     4   2  1  1        6 :  1   1     2   1  1  0  
 72 :   2   2     5   1  1  1       18 :  2   2     2   1  2  2
216 :   2   5     6   3  0  1       54 :  2   2     5   1  2  2 
648 :   2   6    14   3  1  0      162 :  2   2    14   1  2  2
1944 :  2   6    41   3  1  0      486 :  2   2    41   1  2  2
or
48N-24: 2   6    N    3  1  0     12N-6:  2   2     N   1  2  2  
where N = (1+ 3^k)/2, and the pairs for N = 1,2,5 are regular 
and have been Schiemann reduced.
------------------------------------------------------------
Reminder: Kap's two infinite families are equivalent to those 
below, which need not be "reduced." For the first, require
gcd(A,C) = 1 and 0 <A,C. For the second, gcd(A,R) = 1, with
A > 0 and  -A < R < 2 A.
  
4D : A    3A    C   0   0  0    D :   A   A   C    0    0    A

4D:  A  2A-R  2A+R  0  2R  0    D :   A   A   A    R    R    R

For the first, D = 3 A^2 C, for the second D = (A+R)(2A-R)^2 .
