The secondary bushings are all in line, horizontal for the phases as opposed to staggered or offset, and much closer spaced than in a pad mount without a breaker.

What would you call this configuration? HCB?

Just for grins, here's another one I just bought for my work. More standard configuration with the breaker cable fed.

In my opinion, the first configuration is Hcb. The second is VCBB.

I too agree. HCB for the first photo and VCBB for the second.
