Can you Recycle items that were switched with Trick?

The double battle scenario

You have a poke that has Trick/Switcheroo that has a lets say Life Orb that also has Recycle. Your double battle mate has no item. You trick the Life Orb to your teammate so now the poke that had a Life Orb now has no item.

The first question is that now is can the first poke recycle the Life Orb that is tricked to a teammate and if and can both they have a Life Orb?

If the answer to the first question is YES then will you have 2 Life Orbs after battle?

" Recycle allows the user to regain asingle-use held item, such as a Berry,once it has been consumed, as manytimes as it is used. Any requirementsneeded to activate the item are stillrequired once the item has beenrecycled. Recycle can recover itemsconsumed by Bug Bite, Fling, NaturalGift, and Pluck, but not items lost byCovet, Knock Off, Switcheroo, Thief,or Trick. " -Bulbapedia

The Answer is No to both. First off, it can only recover single use items, Like berries ( Life orb is a continuously used item, it doesn’t go away after use ) So thats a no, and then to top it off.Recycle can recover items consumed by Bug Bite, Fling, Natural Gift, and Pluck, but not items lost by Covet, Knock Off,Switcheroo, Thief, orTrick.
