No big "foul". The Southern Pacific referred to all their articulated engines as "Malleys" whether they were "Articulated Mallet Compounds", or "Simple Articulateds". The original articulateds were built as Mallet Compounds, later rebuilt into simple articulateds. Later engines started life as simple engines.

It isn't required to have a double stack on a simple articulated, but most later ones did to handle the larger amount of exhaust steam. (like dual exhaust on your hot rod Mustang).
