We provide explicit expressions in momentum space for two-current correlations corresponding to the zeroth component of the vector Dirac bilinear in the quark vertices, which has been evaluated on the lattice, thinking to applications in a high energy framework, as a step towards the calculation of pion double parton distributions. The numerical results show a remarkable qualitative agreement with recent lattice data. The factorization approximation into one-body currents is discussed based on previous evaluation of the relevant low energy matrix elements in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, confirming the lattice result. %R 10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08470-1 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.05300 %U https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-08470-1 %P 909 - 11pp
