I use two Canon camera bodies, two Yongnuo RF-603II transceivers, and a Yongnuo YN-560 III speedlight with its built-in RF-603 receiver. I want to use the YN-560 III as an off-camera flash at an event and be able to switch between either camera body while still firing that same flash. If I put one RF-603II on each camera, will either body be able to trigger the YN-560 III, assuming they are all set to the same channel/group?

As long as the channel and group settings are selected the same way on all three pieces of equipment you should be able to use either camera/transceiver to trigger the receiver in the off camera YN-560 III.

Yes. If both RF-603II units and the YN-560 III’s built-in receiver are set to the same channel (and matching group settings if used), either camera body should be able to trigger the same off-camera flash. In practice, treat both camera-mounted RF-603II units as transmitters and the YN-560 III as the receiver. When you switch cameras, the flash should still fire as long as the radio settings match and everything is powered on properly. This setup is suitable for using one off-camera flash with two different bodies at the same event.
