Looks like both are fed from the same wire, but not in sequence.
Wire in from the battery on the front terminal of the front breaker, which then jumps to the front terminal of the rear breaker.
You can also see a wire going down from the rear terminal of the front breaker and there is no wire on the rear terminal of the rear breaker.
If the supply wire ran straight to the battery, and the wire going down toward the rear of the truck did not go through a switch, what ever was hooked to the other end must have had a switch on it, otherwise there would be a constant draw on the truck batteries.
Fuel transfer pump or a light in a bed cover would be my guess.
Since the wire is rather small gauge, probably a light.

What advantage would there be in running two circuit breakers in series?
Wouldn't one trip before the other actually had to, making the second redundant/useless?
That's assuming they are in series of course, but regardless I am still curious.
