I believe (it's been awhile since I look at these) but the dual holes are
so the same bracket can be used on either side. The top set of holes
becomes the bottom on the other side. It may have been, for correct
geometry, the holes could or should not be centered in the bracket, and it
was more economical to just make one part with two sets of holes.- instead
of two different ones. But that's just an (un)educated guess :-)
