When calling one for whatever reason...they both show up smiling and wagging

Sounds familiar. I started by giving different commands preceeded by their names. At the back door, before going out, for instance.
Sable had been taught a "wait" command. At the back door ready to go out, I'd say, "Sable, wait." and "Digbee, come!" She backed up and waited. The same for geting out of the car. I didn't want her jumping out as a puppy before I was ready so she learned "wait".
It doesn't matter what the command is, but try giving different commands to each dog. Maybe have one in a down stay, and work with the other. They're pretty smart! They can figure out the difference in the name.
Of course if they think there's a treat involved...well, they both arrive to "C'mon!" No sense missing out on that!
