I have a set of those lugs, so I snapped a basic snapshot and slapped it
up here for those who need a visual:

You can see how the built-in seatstay tops are hollow, so this is not a heavy way to attach stays, it's actually lighter than many other high-quality frames. (Before seeing the lug, I always assumed those were solid plugs.) It's actually pretty slick, with one minor downside, the built-in seatstay-to-seattube angle, which will only fit one frame size without bending.
You can bet they are very malleable though, and can be bent as far as needed for any normal-ish frame size. Yes, "normal-ish" is a word, I read it on the Internet.
