I believe that after the first restore completes, the tape is positioned
at the end of the first file, which is different from the beginning of
the second file.  I think if you add something like

mt -f ${TAPE_NOREWIND} fsf 1

after the restore, the tape should then be correctly positioned for the
next restore.
