If one twin was registered it seems strange the other wasn't, (cert may well have the time of birth recorded but it didn't always happen). A possibility is the event never made it to the GRO index thanks to the repeated transcribing involved.

If you are looking to confirm it with a cert then the Lincs Registration Service is your best option, they will have the original register and can supply a scanned copy  Visit the registrar pages on the county council website, it will explain how to order the cert, no GRO reference is needed, they use a different system, just supply the details you know such as name, date/quarter, district etc, service is quicker than the GRO in my experience and I've had over two dozen from them so far.
