Thats the Jaguar IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) very popular with hot rodders, I've used several.
The drive shaft also doubles as the top arm and controls camber. In the jag they are mounted in a cage, most rods utilise a fabricated cross member
welded to the chassis to carry the diff, and 4 coilovers, you will often see a spanner used as a brace across the two lower inboard wishbone
maontings.
I'm contemplating a wire wheel version for the MGB.

That Jag set-up was used for donkeys years on E-Types and many others. In many cases with inboard disc brakes as well. Not light by any means, but
reputably strong hence the attraction for the big power hot rodders.
