Mystery Twins with Super Powers (Match 'em if you can!)

We'll never know the name of these eight people in this skillfully arranged portrait.  There's a mystery here.  On the left and right sides, the two boys and the two girls appear to be of the same age. Could we be looking at two sets of boy-girl fraternal twins?  Or two sets of boy-boy and girl-girl identical twins?  Perhaps neither.  Maybe the mother and father wasted little time between offspring, and it's just a coincidence that their children share such similar features. 
Regardless, this clan appears to have been gifted with a super power. Their unusually wide-set eyes likely provided enhanced depth perception, making them well-suited as race car drivers or airplane pilots.  That is, if race cars or airplanes had existed back then.
