There is a story with this premise. IIRC Lois discovers that sleepwalking Clark=Superman and then has to convince him that he is ala Nightfall. Good story but I don’t have the name at hand.
Two Faces of Clark is one. There's another where he was adopted by the Lanes, but I don't recall the title. I was even planning to write something like this myself, but never got around to it. XD Ah well.

Going back to the original theme—what if it was Alt-Clark that almost-started-out as Clark’s twin? Suppose Tempus decides to dump Alt-Clark in Kansas right after Clark’s ship landed. Tempus gets a Clark-free zone and the Kents would find two babies, one in a spaceship built-for-one and another identical in every way outside the ship. Clark could be explained by the Cold War experiment/alien theory, but there wouldn’t be any reasonable explanation for Alt-Clark until Martha read about cloning in the late ‘70’s.
Hm, I don't think Alt-Clark needs to be a "clone"; maybe there's just two alien babies who grow up to start fighting over Lois Lane. :3

"Superman? What are you---are those orchids?"

"Lois, ignore those roses that my bro--I mean---I...brought you yesterday. These are much more rare and beautiful, like you are! <3"

"Um, okay, thanks. I'll put them over here next to all the diamond jewelry you brought me this morning."

"He---I brought you *what*?!!!"
