TS dual water bottle & accelerator cable

I ran across this photo of the dual water bottle in a 75 on the Internet. My first assumption was that it is a siamesed bottle windshield washer on one side, and radiator reservoir on the other. But why do they both have what looks like a motor/pump? It is my understanding that the radiator reservoir for the 75 TS is pressurized.

If it is a dual bottle, are new one's available?

I probably should make this a separate thread, but would like to know where the other end of the very long accelerator originates? I gather from a lever (from the pedal) in the engine bay.

Anyone have any close-up photos of both ends of the cable?

While a bear to install and adjust, I sure like the dual rod set-up for the L-Jetronic. Has anyone come up with an installation using rods, rather than a long cable?

Ya know, I thought about headlight washers, but didn't think Alfa installed them until the 164.

Actually I'd like an extremely low profile wiper and washer in my Alfetta GT's rear window. Very Low profile as you can see I have venetian blinds. Yeah, I'm kidding but dust builds up in a linear way on the window and cuts down even more on the somewhat limited visibility.
