The back up iron sight is there in case the red dot shorts out (really only likely if it is a cheap knock off or completely submerged), damaged from extreme abuse, or the battery dies.
having two lasers is overkill. We use replaceable filters so that different squad or team leaders can lase different targets with our PEQ IR lasers, and having different color lasers could have a similar purpose for civilians without night vision.
different color lasers could also be useful for signalling.
