Bloody hell, isn't memory a peculiar thing. I just turned almost
straight to the page (150) in the gospel according to St Phil about
them. Cammy singles in that case though.

A fine old Japanese engineering company, I'm sure.

Well if you were drivng twenty-four valves off one roller chain, I
could sort of understand it. But... looking at the animation again,
first, the sprockets look more like gears, which implies Hy-Vo chains,
and the camshaft sprockets seem to be offset, which implies that there
are two crank-to-camshaft chains, but there seems to be only one
sprocket on the crankshaft.

Surely they don't slave one camshaft off the other? It's just the
animation, right?

That's exactly what they do.

Same set up as the CB900 of the same era.
