Default Alternative suspension pivot point

Hi,

I founded on workshop manual RS500 this figure :




Who can explain to me what is this "alternative suspension pivot point " ?
I suppose it is another point for good position for trailing arm ???
Who have pics or schema of this ?

Thanks by advance

I think it was an RS500 only homologation part - never used on road cars, but had to be fitted to allow them to use the point on the race cars.
