Which aircraft are we talking about ? 757 I assume.

The two mysterious doors on the r/h side of the nose are the negative pressure relief valves which prevent cabin pressure from becoming less than ambient in the event of an emergency decent ( perish the thought ! )

The negative relief doors are spring loaded closed and open on the negative cabin pressure of - 0.75 psi thereby preventing the airframe squishing itself.

As for the dual TAT ? I think I'll have to do a bit of research on that one !
