It looks like same setup as Absolute Black. Outside chainring is on outside but chain line is moved inboard so that there is no interference between the chain and spider/bolts when in the small ring.

Something is still hurting my head about these. Could you post a picture from the non-drive side?
They used the same bolt hole circle, I guess the problem with putting a smaller chain ring on these cranks is just the height of the spider between the rings.
