A framed knot with an integral coefficient determines a simply-connected 4-manifold by 2-handle attachment. Its boundary is a 3-manifold obtained by Dehn surgery along the framed knot. For a pair of such Dehn surgeries along distinct knots whose results are homeomorphic, it is a natural problem: Determine the closed 4-manifold obtained by pasting the 4-manifolds along their boundaries. We study pairs of lens space surgeries along distinct knots whose lens spaces (i.e. the resulting lens spaces of the surgeries) are orientation-preservingly or -reversingly homeomorphic. In the authors’ previous work, we treated with the case both knots are torus knots. In this paper, we focus on the case where one is a torus knot and the other is a Berge’s knot Type VII or VIII, in a genus one fiber surface. We determine the complete list (set) of such pairs of lens space surgeries and study the closed 4-manifolds constructed as above. The list consists of six sequences. All framed links and handle calculus are indexed by integers.
