All L3 interfaces (both routed ports and SVIs) use the same MAC address
on this platform, see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note
09186a00801c9b4e.shtml. There is nothing wrong with this, all of the
interfaces are (by definition) in different broadcast domains. You can
change the mac if you want/need (using mac-address interface command) on
the Sup720..
