Ambiguous class references and type mismatches while consuming web services

[EDN Admin]

I apologize if this seems simple, but my own research hasnt yielded any usable results yet. I have a project that is consuming several web services. One web service is used to create an object that must be used as a parameter in another web services
method. So something like:
var service1 = new webService1();
var service2 = new webService2();
var parameter = service1.getParameter();
var results = service2.getData(parameter);

The issue is, the class that is created exists in both web services namespaces. So, in the example above, service2 expects a type of service2.parameter, but the only thing I have to pass it is a type of service1.parameter. I can solve the issue of ambiguous
namespaces by aliasing the types in my using statements, but that doesnt solve the issue of the type mismatch. As far as I can tell, the objects should be identical, but I only have a way to create the object in one service, which then is not the correct
type for where it must be used. Not sure what to do, so any help would be appreciated. It should be noted that I dont have any access to modify the web services in any way. Heres some basic code that shows my problem. Thanks in advance.
