John B. is correct - that's Southern (as in Railway) Valve Gear. It was applied to quite a few locomotives in the WWI era, but never reached the popularity of Walschaerts and Baker.

Surviving locos with Southern gear include Southern 2-8-0s 630 & 722, and EBT 2-8-2 17.

(Do EBT 16 and 18 have Southern gear?)
