This is a cross-steer package. The most popular steering box for cross-steer is a Vega or Vega clone. Note that the drag link moves parallel to the front axle, as does the tie rod. It's possible to induce bump steer in a cross-steer chassis if the drag link and front axle are not parallel.
The so-called "radius rod" in this picture is the 4-bar linkage that locates the front axle. In the first photo on this thread, it's the reddish-colored split wishbone.
In a suspension like the first photo, it's important that the drag link and the radius rod be as close to parallel as possible, and as close to the the same length as possible. Those shown are neither.Jack
