3. Name your new page "First" or similar.
4. If your new master will share some characteristics (margins, size &
location of header/footer frames, etc.) with your Left or Right pages,
then Copy from one of them; otherwise choose Empty.
5. Modify the new master page to suit your purpose; don't add a page
number variable.
6. Format > Customize Layout > Master Page Usage: select your new
Custom master page and apply it to page 1.
7. Format > Page Layout > Pagination: choose Double Sided and Before
Saving & Printing, Make Page Count Even.
I don't understand your phrase, "(unused) Body view show 2 pages"...
