That's this auction, lots 203-206.
I have no idea why, but all the single-instrument listings I lookd at said "Quantity: 2".
Lot 203, a 72-button (71+air) duet is described as "baritone". Given the 9½" size marked in the ledger, I doubt very much that it's an octave lower than normal. That would have it going half an octave lower than my 81-button (80+air) Maccann, which is 11" across. Also, the ledger doesn't note anything unusual. I expect it's just a standard "72".
Jim they did this at the last auction ,you will probably find that the 2 is the box that it comes in.This was there wording before.

Rats! I was hoping they were cloning concertinas, like they're doing with kittens, now.
