Shear stress on bolts (in different planes)

I am trying to understand the behavior of bolt in different
plane.
My doubt is when shear force acts on bolts in 2 different
plane simultaneously, does it share the shear force (F/2) or
each bolts experience the total force (F).

I am sure that if there is a bolt pattern on the same plane,
each bolt will contribute (develop individual reaction shear force).

Please find the attachment.
 
Draw a free body of your rectangular block, minus the bolts and it should become apparent. (HINT - the answer is each bolt takes F/2, because if each bolt saw F, then your freebody will show 2F pushing against F and the block would move)
