Use the first copy to determine computational-basis parity and the second to determine phase parity. On the first pair, Alice and Bob each measure the Pauli operator $Z$ and communicate their signs $z_A,z_B$. On the second, each measures $X$ in the $|+⟩,|-⟩$ basis and communicates the signs $x_A,x_B$.

Every Bell state is an eigenstate of both $Z\otimes Z$ and $X\otimes X$. Direct application to its two basis terms gives the tableFor example, $Z\otimes Z$ acts positively on $|00⟩,|11⟩$ and negatively on $|01⟩,|10⟩$; $X\otimes X$ exchanges the two terms in each pair, detecting their relative sign. Thus individual outcomes are random, but the products in the table are certain. The Bell parity and phase observables label the state uniquely.

The two communicated parities identify all four states with probability one. Each measurement is local and all remaining operations are classical, so the protocol is LOCC discrimination of four Bell states using two copies. Alice can simply send her two signs to Bob, who combines them with his own. Measuring $Z$ on the first copy destroys its phase information, but the second identical copy still supplies it; this is why the two-copy assumption enables this protocol.
