I appreciate all the kind words…. I’ve just learned so much from useful posts on here that I felt I owed a giant debt…
Regarding the speakers, it definitely came down to a “form over function” decision for me, which may not be for everyone but I do really like them myself. I was thinking you could try and use a splitter like this to separate the L & R and achieve 0 latency.
Oh if you have a 1/8" input that makes it even simpler.
Grab something like this and plug your reel antenna straight into the right input. It'll feed it to that ring of the stereo 1/8" in the radio.

OK. Assuming a stereo input, with mic preamps in the camera:
Do you really need/want stereo? Here's a decent short article about it: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/pro-audio/tips-and-solutions/why-and-when-to-use-a-stereo-mic-on-a-camera
The most straight-ahead method is simply to buy a stereo microphone intended for video use, and a regular 3.5mm headphone extension cable (shielded) if you need to locate the mic away from the camera.
The article lists several choices from $59 up. I'm sure cheaper options exist elsewhere.
Here's a 25' extension cable: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1309998-REG/hosa_technology_hxmm_025_rean_3_5mm_trs_to.html
Doing this with a dual-mono by breaking out the connector (as your original inquiry) raises a number of issues: Both mics would need to be battery powered, if they are condensers.
The stereo to dual-mono breakout cable you would need is dependent on the connector on your mics. If they are 3.5mm , this is a short version:
These cables, with female jacks on the breakout end, are difficult to find.
You would use a mono cable for each speaker.
That is not the correct splitter, as it sends both channels to both jacks. You want a splitter like this:
