I believe double guns such as that were considered cape guns. The German or European ones generally had the left barrel rifled and the right barrel smooth and the English versions the reverse of that.
I've run into a few of them but never owned one. One of the coolest ones I ever saw was a 20 gauge on the left and a 25-35 on the right. Would have liked to have bought that gun from the owner's estate but the family pilfered the gentleman's guns before the executor could get them secured.
