It's for two different pinouts for ROMs and EPROMs.

They are wired in parallel, so which ever one has a chip in it will respond.

Edit: sniped by a better reply while I talked to my kids ;)

I think those sockets are inverted, that's why the rom towers were originally needed.

If I remember right, you need to fold all the pins the wrong way so that the chip is upside down in the socket.

I'm not sure if they ever fixed it or just started using the other two sockets.
