Maybe they thought there was some advantage, or maybe they just wanted to be different, like some of the UK framemakers with unusual geometries. Not aware of any other marque using these, except Legnano owned Frejus for a while, so maybe a few Frejus models might have used it.

Any mechanical advantage?
Did any one other than Legnano use it?

A 60's Legnano, at least a high end one, would have the distinctive Legnano seatpost binder bolt IN FRONT of the seat lug.
