I've only been able to find 'Compound pulley system with the same number of fixed and moveable pulleys', though you would need to add 'vertical'. You could try 'Vertical compond pulley system' or 'Second order vertical pulley system'.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for these references, Helena. I think you're absolutely right about the number and layout of the pulleys. We just don't seem to have neat names for these two types of systems in English. Thanks again! |
