Unusual Time Signature

In my edition (Schirmer/Buonamici) of Schubert, Four Impromptus, Op.90 No.3, the time signature shows two cut time symbols side by side. The open ends of the cut time symbols are facing each other. I’ve never seen this before. Is there a name for this time signature? Looking at the score, it seems to be the same as 4/2. Is there a difference between 4/2 and the symbol I've described? I've checked my Harvard Dictionary, Oxford Companion, and searched online, all with no luck. Anybody know?
