Default A new one for me....

.... I haven't seen this one before. It seems like a kind of legal double tap device. Any thoughts?

I've never seen a grounding lug used like that, probably because it's not listed for that application

The conductor must have been too big to fit under the screw on the breaker. ? ? ?

You would need to look at the listing for that particular lug but they are generally listed for one or more conductors. Ilsco says "stranded"

DEFECT: This circuit breaker is not designed to be used in this manner.
