Perek 6 Halachah 1 (16b):
How were the Luchos written?
R. Chanina ben Gamliel says 5 dibros on each Luach (5+5)
The Rabonan says 10 on each Luach (10 +10)
R. Shimon bar Yochai says 20 on each Luach (20+20).
10 in the front & 10 in the back of each Luach.
R. Simai says 40 on each Luach
(40+40) 10 dibros on all 4 sides of each Luach.
Had this been a Machlokes in Halacha, we would definitely not pasken like Reb Chanina ben Gamliel who said it had 5 dibros on each Luach. (daas yochid, all others claim
to have at least,10 dibros)
It is interesting that all pictures and Luchos in Shuls depict only 5 dibros on each Luach.
The Zohar* also holds, like Reb Chanina Ben Gamliel. that it
had only 5 dibros on each Luach.(5+5)
It seems, R.Shimon bar Yochai,
who said it had 10 dibros on both sides. (20+20)
would argue on the Zohar.(only 5)
