@ThylacineAlive Yes, I think its a good idea (particularly educationally for visitors to see these two species from same habitat together).

I know that the okapi at the London zoo are kept successfully with a species of duiker, saw both of these during a couple of visits, but don't remember the duiker species.
 
An interesting conversation! Caldwell Zoo, in Texas, had colobus monkeys, bongos and a yellow-backed duiker all together when I visited in 2015 and in 2010.

My photo from 2015:

Mixing blue duiker is a little more surprising to me, since they seem much more fragile than the larger species. That said, Bronx did mix their Maxwell's Duikers with colobus for many years, before exhibiting them with their Aardvarks/Southern White-Faced Owls until their passing in 2015.
