Thanks to everyone who weighed in to help

@Gordon I emailed Robert who confirmed this setup was not IM standard, even back in January 1978 according to this car's mfg sticker

@Wolfgang your's is a keen observation. The intermediate steering shaft image you posted sure looks like what's in my car

@Todd M you may be absolutely correct with your reservation. If this car ever runs again ;-) I'll post treat drive results and any further investigation

Thank you gentlemen !!!
