Both Canon 1Ds MII and Canon 1Ds MII have Full frame sized 17.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the 1Ds MII and 1Ds MII sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 1Ds MII and Canon 1Ds MII Cameras
Canon 1Ds MII and Canon 1Ds MII have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 1Ds MII
or the
Canon 1Ds MII ,
including hyperfocal distance.
