Or, Ebay item number 8819334432

Please look at the photo showing the bottom bracket of this Dutch bike (Schauff?) that just sold on German Ebay. Note the rear der. cable guide is brazed on top of the b.b., while the front is brazed below. I haven't seen this before ... is it done on any other bikes elsewhere? Was it an intended design and why, or was it perhaps a repair job? Just curious...
