I acknowledge that the 'World Cup' Cars where 'odd balls' in terms of suspension - none of the 'rally' works cars used anything like this and as said the the quote above 'was more for keeping the axle in place than for any performance advantage. However the works rally cars did feature short parallel radius arms together with a transverse horizontal link for lateral location, all from day 1 of the Ford Rally program. My issue is with your diagram - different attachment points for the arms will lead to different geometry changes with end trying to rip themselves out of the chassis attachments as they are swinging through different arcs - the set up only works with a single pair of radius arms.

The image was grabbed from the www and while it does not accurately reflect the my setup of the angled top bars are correct. My car used coil-over and and was told it also used dummy leaf springs due to race regulations. I have since found out the dummy leaf springs were possibly plastic/fiberglass, slipper springs for location.
FYI, My car has the lower mounting points at the same lateral length along the chassis of the car.
