Looks to me like a hinged-stub switch, common in Europe. The Blades are square-ended, and reversed hinged to work like a blade without the taper but don't bend a length of rail like a stub to acomplish the required movement. A Dam constructors tramway in Washington state used the hinged stub through out.
