if same team, same personnel, same drivers but fielding the two cars as "pratt&miller racing" it then becomes a private team?

If you scratch 'same personnel' and if the car is entered by 'Action Express' or 'JDC Miller' or 'Chip Ganassi' then IMO: yes, even if you put 3 factory drivers in the car.

The fact that a privateer Porsche with no (Porsche) factory driver in its lineup got pole at Le Mans just confirms this could actually work.
Dries Vanthoor - Maxime Martin - Alvaro Parente
That's an Audi factory driver, an Aston Martin (is he, still?) and ex-BMW factory driver, and an ex-McLaren and ex-Bentley factory driver (currently doing Lamborghini's?)
That's a strong lineup but surely not a factory or even semi-factory car.
