Can there be multiple selves with the same identity? If not,

Why does that preclude metacognition?

Self is an abstract concept that isn't reflective of actuality. The concept of self is synthesized from the experience of identity. It's possible to have multiple selfs if you suffer from detachment, say you go into schizoid withdraw and your self becomes lost in fantasy and develops into a schizm(this has happened to me) or if you go into psychosis because you are full on schizo, have DID or drug induced and you become delusional between your actual identity and the self(s) you experience while psychotic. I've met people like that.
Metacognition is just higher order thought processes(thoughts about thoughts) this has nothing to do with the sense of self. I've had no sense of self before(magic mushrooms,LSD, muh self-disorder), and had no problem thinking about thoughts. That also holds true when you can only recognize your higher self(deep ecology) and your conception of your personal identity completely disintegrates. ("Mystical" experience)
