Thanks for the information, but it would have been helpful if you had included links - you're usually so good at that. Please let me know the correct page if I have got any wrong.
Asymmetric/Biform - all pieces are divergent in this one, and they do not even include the Stewardess and Contrastewardess, under any names. For some reason I could not find it in the index either name, but only as a link from the next.
Divergent - at least includes the Stewardess and Contrastewardess, but again no standard back-rank pieces.
Exotic - the only page startinhg wit Exotic that I could find.
/large.dir/contest84/schizophrenic.html - did not appear to have any relevant pieces.

What I was looking for was a variant in which the middle two Pawns were pushed forward by either the Stewardesses or the Contrastewardesses - I cannot remember which - while the other pair were on the back rank, with their Pawns in the usual place.
