Rotational Symmetry is another name to describe these setups, where a piece at White's right hand will be matched by a corresponding piece at Black's right hand. The Burmese game of Sittuyin is the oldest example I know where the initial Pawn formations are staggered. I have used this idea in my 8x8 variants Mir Chess 32 and Midgard Chess.
