While I'm not certain (I don't work there), I will give this guess (because in every weather shop I've been in, this is what we've done): the first name is the author, the second name performed quality control. By having that second person proofreading and giving the TWO a "sanity check," you're reducing the likelihood for errors.
Also, it may be a second opinion. "Hey Bob, do you agree with this?" "Yup, I concur."

not sure, but it could be a trainer/trainee situation.
