I am by no means an expert and may be wrong. But i would have to say "We are both naturalised as British citizens" is correct. citizen means an inhabitant of a city or town and refers to "one" so both should be citizens.

The second version is fine. Besides, I believe 'naturalize' Vs 'naturalise' is a matter of AmE Vs BrE.

You are right. "We are naturalized British citizens" is correct. I take "naturalized" here as an adjective to modify "British citizens". But how about a sentence like "We were naturalized (as)

citizens is true well... it's hard to explain:P..eerr...when u use 'both' u talk about plural objects. if u talk about plural stuffs u should attach 's' to the end of plural word (as u know:P)
