Items can have multiple numbers or other identifying factors. If all I had was 12 items I would definitely setup my catalog differently. I must agree with ken though, all items should have a unique sku. If you need a non unique number then create one. Consider it a style number or group number and use that to build your catalog. Then when they select a particular size from your catalog page, they will load in that item by its sku.
