Here is nearly the same view from a different angle.
Notice the LM landing radar antenna shield near the descent engine
bell?
In the earlier picture view, the radar antenna shield supports appeared

in parallel with the touchdown probe, making it look like a second
probe.

That explains it nicely, thanks!
I still like dumping the trash bags under the LM, obviously NASA never
heard of "pack it in; pack it out". ;-)

Ooooooooooh! Look in the lower right of the picture. Did Armstrong and
Aldrin leave two pieces of bubble pack on the lunar surface? (Did
bubble pack exist in 1969?)

Some impulsive/compulsive future astronaut/cosmonaut/taikonaut will
just have to go there an pop it! (And then face being shot by NASM
security guards when they return.)
