do they have some kind of bushing holding those springs together? if they're solid they would have no way to flex and you might as well weld the axle straight to the buggy, kinda like using normal (1/2) leafs with no shackle.

There once was a Flattie that had something similar. It was entered into the TTC 3 or 4 years back but didn't get the votes. I think it had single leaf packs at each end that were inverted over the axles and mounted to seperate crossmembers on the frame. Anybody remember it, it was a weird looking yellow Flattie.
That pic of the buggie is a full elliptical spring 4/4. A 3/4 elliptical would have 3 points (front spring eye, shackle, frame mount) most of us are running 1/2 elliptical (standard leaf spring) and a 1/4 elliptical would be single front & axle attachment points.
I saw the flattie-looking rig in TTC, it was handbuilt and used a standard leafspring mounted sideways, talk about body roll!
