It's a double mint set. There are two of each coin. The Mint used to be very slow in getting proof, and Mint set out. The delivery date of April 13, 1956, for a 1955 set is just how they delivered back then.
When buying these you have to look closely at the toning. The cardboard holders gave the toning a certain look. There are sets like this that are not original. Missing coins have been replaced or substituted. This one looks good.
These double mint sets with original packaging are becoming scarce. The mintage on this 1955 set was 49.656, many have been broken up for grading, an estimated 30-40% likely remain and that was of about 10 yrs ago. This is a very nice original set you have here. Also, they were mailed out the following year, so if you ordered a 1955 they would have normally been mailed out in 1956.
The reason there is two of each coin is so that you can view the obverse and reverse of each mint. Otherwise, you would have to pop the coin/s out of the holder.
It's very highly unlikely that you would find a 1955 doubled die cent in a mint set. Most, if not all, of them were discovered in New England in packs of cigarettes bought from vending machines. A pack of cigarettes cost 48¢ back then. Because vending machines weren't set up to return 2¢ change, two pennies were inserted in the pack so when you inserted two quarters or a half dollar, the change was included inside the cellophane packaging. Interesting find on the S mintmark on the dime.
I'd be willing to buy all the extra 2nd coins... not at face value, of course... If ur interested... I check my notifications about 2xs a week when expecting replies...
