Even a plica (which this is not) has two upstems or two downstems. Usually, a longa is a brevis with downstem to the right (signifying doubling* the note value), and a maxima is a longa with an elongated head (again doubling* the value). Sometimes the downstem is replaced by an upstem (always to the right) without changing the semantics. An upstem to the left invariably signifies the start of a c.o.p. ligature (the last ligature to survive in the era of printing). This is _not_ a c.o.p. ligature (semibrevis-semibrevis). Perhaps the thing that looks like an upstem here is merely a pointer to the explanatory text above the stave?
