And with them going in OPPOSITE directions too!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The MC-72 only had two bladers as well, perhaps it was a 'style' thing of the times?

Can you imagine the sound though with twin V-12's and two- two bladed props?!   :o   Glorious or shrikeing? Both?

The majority of the early contra-prop systems
used two-bladed props. Which isn't surprising
as two-bladed props were still very common.
There is no reason it would be louder than any
other contra-prop setup, arguably it could be
quieter as there would be fewer crossings of
blades, thus less airflow interference than with
a three-bladed system. 

As an aside the most efficient propeller design of
all, in terms of using available power, is a counter
-balanced single bladed propeller as it has the
least amount of drag to overcome.
