I've seen numerous frames with twin mounts and at least one period photograph of someone using dual headlights. I think it's mostly useful for seeing things in the dark, period.
Virtually all of these Carlton frames, as with most high-end British frames of the period, were ordered to individual customer specifications. If you see two mounts it means a specific someone wanted two mounts for their own purposes.
