They are separate components as mentioned above.

If I recall correctly, the prop governor provides constant speed, beta, and power turbine speed control. The prop overspeed governor is installed in parallel to the prop gov and is strictly a fail-safe device that bypasses the control oil flow once the overspeed limit is reach.
