What market is this vehicle? My internet search shows Opel Corsa B was 1993-2000 only. If this capture was taken at cold start, you could be looking at normal cold start strategy. The engineers may have decided to fire each injector twice to enrich the mixture for drivability purpose or catalyst war...
