If your diagram indicates that the amplifier is a 2 channel amplifier, then in the first figure, the amplifier will see a nominal impedance of 2 ohms per channel. In the second, the amplifier will see a nominal impedance of 1 ohm. If the diagram indicates two positive and two negative posts for a single amplifier channel, then in both figures the amplifier will see a nominal impedance of 1 ohm.

(...sees opportunity to drag out old drawing...)

Yes, they are one and the same.  Here is a diagram I made some time ago that shows that the terminals on the mono amp are connected (paralleled) inside the amp.
