Dual AC Condenser?

Dual AC Condenser?
I never paid much attention to my AC condenser(s). Looking through various threads here and on Pirate it appears the 22re usually just has one large AC condenser in front of the radiator. But my 88 22re has an extra half-sized condenser in the top front of the main one. It looks just like this:

Is this second half-condenser common for the 22re? I wondered if it was an add-on to help with lower AC efficiency when converting from R12 to R134a.
Anything you know about it, please share.
Thanks!

There was an A/C option called "Supercool" which comprised of a second condenser 'core' ahead of the main large one. It added a few ounces of refrigerant capacity and extra condenser capacity to help cool the 4Runner's larger passenger area. It is an official Toyota part introduced before the HFC134a things came into effect.
