2-Bus Architectures

So, I'm studying Processor Design (very basic lol)
but I need some input..

In a 1-Bus architecture for a CPU, doing an operation at the same time like:

R[3] <- R[1] + R[2] : R[4] <- R[3] + R[1] + R[2];

where if R1 = 5; R2 = 6; R[3] = 5 (before first instruction);
after the two instructions are finished, R[3] = 11; and R[4] = 16

can be accomplished easily; however, for a 2 bus architecture is this possible?
I'm finding that it can't be, but I want some more input. Thanks for the help!

Here's a 1-Bus:
