As far as I recall, these two are very much equal with each other.  I believe that is why they've been dominant and successful for as long as they have been in pretty hostile territory.  They are always together, in tandem.  I even saw footage once where they were 'swap mating' with a lioness.  Granted, that may not be what they always do, but I thought it was not typical for even blood brother coalition partners....
