If there are two rackets and both have a static weight of 11 ounces and both are the same length and the same balance... What factors would make the swingweight different.

Balance does not tell you how the weight is distributed. One racquet could have nearly all of the weight at the mid point (13 1/2 inches from either end), while another has nearly half at one end and half at the other end with almost none near the mid point, yet both will have the same (even) balance.

while the SW of the above 2 extreme example may not be too different (it maybe very different !), the feel is definitely different !
in the first case, it is not a stable racket. any ball hitting close to the tip will let your wrist, elbow know very clearly ! The 2nd example is a polarized one, and could handle ball hit up in the head feel more comfy and stable.
But if u put it too extreme, like all the mass at the butt and at 12 'oclock (and achieve your balance), it would not be too easy or natural to swing around.
