Let $M$ be an orientable, irreducible $3$-manifold admitting a weakly reducible genus three Heegaard splitting as a minimal genus Heegaard splitting. In this article, we prove that if $[f]$, $[g]\in Mod(M)$ give the same correspondence between two isotopy classes of generalized Heegaard splittings consisting of two Heegaard splittings of genus two, say $[\mathbf{H}]\to[\mathbf{H}']$, then there exists a representative $h$ of the difference $[h]=[g]\cdot[f]^{-1}$ such that (i) $h$ preserves a suitably chosen embedding of the Heegaard surface $F'$ obtained by amalgamation from $\mathbf{H}'$ which is a representative of $[\mathbf{H}']$ and (ii) $h$ sends a uniquely determined weak reducing pair $(V',W')$ of $F'$ into itself up to isotopy. Moreover, for every orientation-preserving automorphism $\tilde{h}$ satisfying the previous conditions (i) and (ii), there exist two elements of $Mod(M)$ giving correspondence $[\mathbf{H}]\to[\mathbf{H}']$ such that $\tilde{h}$ belongs to the isotopy class of the difference between them.
