To know why they went with the dual belt design instead of a single belt |

This was technically Panasonic's first attempt of making an upright that uses a clutch. They later improved it where two belts wasn't necessary anymore, my MC-6357 similar to your Jet-Flo uses just one belt. And then they've adopted the foot pedal where you didn't had to bend over anymore to shut the brushroll off.

I had a Jet-Flo MC-6210 and it had the same design. To my understanding it was Panasonic's design for a clutch to turn the brush roll off. When the user switch the clutch, it shifted the belt to an idler. Neat system and it did work well. I always loved how quiet the Jet-Flo and many Panasonics were. I don't think many models were ever known for being the best deep cleaners out there but they certainly weren't awful. All had great agitation, were fairly easy to use and made carpets look great.
