It’s a Dromedary configuration, the late Martin Phippard wrote an excellent paper on trailer types, including “drome” semis, in correspondence I had with him he sent me some of his photos which included at least one example. guess what I can’t find them they were quite popular in the States years back
An up to date Scandinavian example to be going on with.

That ERF was driven by Johnny Heath. It was the only LHD one, the other 14 in the fleet being RHD. It’s a 5MW-cabbed MGR or more likely MCR. The M = metal cab; the G = special export type but I think this one was just a LHD sleeper cab which would carry a C coding; and the R = Rolls lump, in this case a 220 with a 10-sp Fuller. Cheers!
