[MCU] Are there two infinity gauntlets, and if so, why? Aren't there only six stones?

Dumb question time!  I read a glimpse of something which suggests that the gauntlet in Thanos's possession is not the same one as the gauntlet seen in Odin's vault.  If that is so, why would there be two, when ostensibly there are only enough gems to fill one?

Apparently Thanos has an empty left, while the one in Odin's treasure room is an empty right.

Presumably there's something (what?) about the infinity gems that makes a gauntlet the best way to contain/combine them? I've never heard anything to that effect, but the most direct explanation is that other powerful beings have had the Infinity Gauntlet plan over the millennia, and Odin stopped one of the earlier attempts. (Or even *made* one of the earlier attempts!)

We do see how Ronan putting the stone in a weapon was dangerous because that weapon could still be destroyed, so... you could say that lines up with the need to keep the stones close by wearing them as opposed to holding them?
