Default Bleeding 6 pots

I'm going to be fitting new discs,and bleeding the brakes,they've never been great to say they're 6 pots.
Afaik they are scoobyclinic brakes but have no markings so not 100% sure.

Thing is that they have 2 bleed nipples,both at the top,one inside and the other outside.
Do I need to bleed both at once or just one at a time,and any order?

Cheers
Rich

Ah silly me, I've had 2 sets myself and didn't even realise, but I didn't bleed my last set myself and the hatch Brembos I sold on before even fitting them for some APs lol.
But I know my aps have twin nipples though.
Learn everyday, thanks
