Default Two robotic arms in shuttle?

And there are 2 arms attached to the arm operator, whether on the
shuttle or ISS.

Were there ever plans/provisions to outfit a shuttle with 2 arms ?


Yes.

But I believe Endeavour was never scarred for that, but the earlier orbiters
were.

That would have been a site, two arms, really make the shuttle almost look
alive.
