Just checking to be sure I have my facts right. The electrical panel has six double taps, labels hard to read. When I blew up the photos the top photo is rated for one wire and bottom photo rated for two wires. So am I outstanding this properly, that two wires are okay for the circuit rate for two wires? The other labels I could not read.

All of the breakers in each of your pictures can have either one or two wires secured under the lugs.

Thanks Jim,
I just looked at the two photos again more closely and see this now. Just shows you have to be carefully calling out double taps.-Thanks-I may need an eye exam!

I know, the printing on those things is ridiculous. You need a jeweler's loupe to read them sometimes.
