If she is a reoccurring character, those both could be drawn from model sheet images provided by the publisher, which could account for the similarly in the poses.

Well, she is not. Nothing in the stories point to the fact that they are the same person.
De Vita's version is meant to be a friend of Daisy who seems to be at best middle-class. And she lives in Duckburg.
Panarese's version is a Countess who tries to buy an expensive statue. And who lives in a different city.

IIRC, no less an artist than Carl Barks employed a similar technique for his sole Mickey Mouse story, "The Riddle of the Red Hat", where character poses were copied from Gottfredson art wholesale. Rosa coped a lot of Barks art in his first few stories, too.

Sure, but #1 Barks had basically never drawn Mickey in comic form and needed the help, whereas Panarese could just have made up a new extra character, and #2, both of them were copying poses for the same characters; it's much weirder to reuse the exact same design and poses for two different characters.
There is an infamous 1990 Mickey Mouse story by Giorgio Cavazzano where Mickey breaks off with Minnie and marries another woman, Samantha. Topolino in: Ho sposato una strega ("Mickey in: I Married A Witch").
It was only published once due to this. (aside from a yearly anthology)
A specific panel was used in some news to refer to the story.
In 1993, in the French "Journal de Mickey" magazine, a one-page riddle comic drawn by Rachid Nawa has Mickey and Goofy investigating the disappearance of a necklace belonging to a Maharani (Maharadjah's wife):
Well, well, well...
The French riddle comics were usually cheaply made and often had characters awkwardly traced from other comics... but it was usually traced from French artist Claude Marin's art. (I will show examples later)
This one is by Rachid Nawa who usually doesn't do that!

So I'm beginning to wonder, given that the artists who do this kind of "copying" can clearly draw capably ... are these perhaps some kind of inside jokes?

Well.. those would be strange jokes!

Honestly, I'd rather take that over artists who seem to be constantly working from model sheets (Maximino, I'm looking at you). At least they're copying/"borrowing" from great artists.

Maximino constantly working from model sheets? What do you mean? That the characters keep doing the same poses? Like Mickey winking towards the reader while extending an arm clenched in a fist? Small-eyed eyebrow-less Mickey?
One French artist, Henri Dufranne, drew one-page Mickey & Goofy mystery/riddle comics... his character designs were very repetitive, and would often do the same poses, looking very unnatural.
Dufranne often used this character design for a suspect. (do you also notice beardless Scuttle?)
It is obviously traced from a Claude Marin comic.
There was another character-design he copied a lot, with a jolly fat guy raising his fist in the air with his eyes closed. I saw him at least twice in Dufranne's riddle comics, which kinda annoyed me as a kid. I was dumbstruck when I eventually found the original image in a Claude Marin story.
Can't hate the guy, though; I grew up with his stuff!
