I think that would be considered a "kruisframe" or cross frame over here. Magneet Kruisframe tandem

And some more pics because of the 10 images per post limit.

Lots of rust (as expected) around the rear stays. But the chrome cleans up nicely, except for the rear chaincase strip. Not this mostly showed up after I treated the entire frame with an anti-rust gel.
