Odd shotgun

This probably borders on the obscure but I'm curious. Came across an advertisement for a shotgun recently. The butt reminded me of something I'd seen before but I couldn't quite place it. After much thinking and searching I finally found it. From my visit to Leeds I have some (poor) shots of firearms made post WW1 (possibly WW2) for those unfortunate enough to have lost limbs in the war.
The first one is described as
Manufactured in Feb 1913, Cross Eyes model is made for right handed shooters with a left dominant eye.
Obviously given the date of manufacture it doesn't fall into the same category as the ones at Leeds. But I'm curious as to how common these are. Were they ever a standard model or more a special order item ? Does it solve the problem ?
