One each end? I assume it's so they can be adjusted in situ by twisting the arm

correct, and you can get finer adjustment, with only single end adjustable you can;t only adjust by 1/2 of the pitch of the thread. Which in most cases is not a big deal.

So one arm has reverse threads on both ends and the other has normal threads on both ends?

...that is pretty weird...

They may have bought a set cheap, one of each thread, and split them up to use one on each side.
