Two RD5x's in a BA123 was definitely a supported configuration, and is
listed in the late-80's DEC catalogs.

Two RD3x (half-height) disks in a BA23 is also supported, and indeed is
the reason behind the 6-button BA23 front panel. Many 11/53
configurations were shipped from the factory this way.

Two full-height hard drives in a single BA23 was never officially supported
(at least for the various microPDP-11 configurations), because
they refused to support a base box sold without removable media.
