It's definitely possible to see both in a single IP packet if both messages would be being sent to the same next-hop point code by the STP. Most, and virtually every implementation of SS7 over IP will have multiple SS7 messages, even for multiple applications (INAP, ISUP, MAP, etc.), aggregated into one IP packet if it's between the same two point codes (multi-streaming).
