There was even a ful 'X-Frame' location kit available, doubling up the one in the pic, IIRC.

True, although I don't see it adding really anything but weight and complexity.

It's beautiful in it's simplicity, isn't it.

Probably a bit better than without it, but it looks like the springs, shackles, and spring eye bushings all would still add their compliance that would let the axle shift laterally under the car.

I think you are pessimistic on the effectiveness. Front bushings have an impact depending how solid they are, but the triangulation comes quite close to them, so the spring and shackle impact less. Capri guys say it improves the rear end behavior on track remarkably and they keep using it. Some of the systems with flat bars and u-bolts look quite unattractive, but the clock doesn't know it.

this is probably the only system that will ever work .... a pommie invention I think, check with BCJOHNNY
some one may be able to expand the link to pictures

lada ok

The 'Mumford link' is a good system where you need a really low RC (even to the extent of placing it below ground level), or you need to keep the lateral link(s) out of any ground effects, etc.

For most people a Watts linkage gets it done, without the complication, assuming it's not in conflict with anything else in the installation ......

will it work on me lada

Anything works on a Lada!

For lateral "support" With a Panhard rod for simplicity. There might be a kit available, more or less made to fit Your veichle. Make it run parallell to the axle.

However, if you're not familiar With fabricating Your own stuff, go With the A (or X) as mentioned above; it Works quite good. We've tried it on road race cars With success. But also went 11.5 in the 1/4's.

it has one as a stock feature..
special features are .. armstrong steering and windows, ..and heated rear window.so your hands don't get cold when pushing it

Here is my Mumford on 2105 Lada. The rear axle is from Volvo 940. The car is still in the pit:

I'm thinking this solution here is a simple band aid compromise. That is a back handed compliment. I'm thinking in roll, there is an inherent bind, and the main giveaway, the 45 Deg leaf to housing braces are connected a distance away from the front leaf eye, the most rigid locating point, the reason being I suspect, it is to allow some compliance. So in this case, it might be solving one problem, but adding another. IMO, and take the above with a large grain of salt.

In the OP's application, exhaust routing with a watts behind the rear axle, is likely very cumbersome.
