Mitten Tree Where Did These Mutant Leaves Come From?

Where did these mutant leaves come from? - mitten tree

A tree near my house, with leaves that are mostly single lobe. Some leaves have what looks like a mutation with another flap on the left, carved, while others have the same on the right side. (Appearance of pairs of gloves) There are even 3-lobed leaves fully developed. Is this normal?

Most likely, a mulberry tree. The berries are like blackberries.
