The presence of Killing-Yano tensors implies the existence of non-generic supercharges in spinning point particle theories on curved backgrounds. Dual metrics are defined through their associated non-degenerate Killing tensors of valence two. Siklos spacetimes, which are the only non-trivial Einstein spaces conformal to non-flat pp-waves are investigated in regards to the existence of their corresponding Killing and Killing-Yano tensors. It is found that under some restrictions, pp-wave metrics and Siklos spacetimes admit dual metrics and non-generic supercharges. Possible significance of those dual spacetimes are discussed.
