With that bell crank setup as opposed to the straight rack setup you're going to get a progressive Ackerman change through the steering throw. As the bell cranks approach each extremity it will move the draglink/steering brace forward, increasing Ackerman which should smooth out the steering depending on how the steering links line up on the draglink? One of the benefits I see (other than the reduction in slop) is that you should be able to get full travel with less servo movement.

EDIT: I'm fairly certain that the mystery company is Akula. Take a look at their show car and compare:
