The 2nd pic is a true Wing-T with 3 Running Backs in the backfield. This formation is prohibited in most Leagues that I know of.
The difference between legal and not legal is: IF they are to be considered WRs, then they must be outside of the OTs and no further than a base-length off the LOS. Between the OTs and in the backfield is usually deemed an illegal formation.

cool. i've been told that the formation that i posted has various names, flexbone, double wing, wing t, etc. but yes, the explanation of how you run it is pretty close to how i know to run it. the main difference is the wingback motions in front of the fullback to receive the handoff for the sweep. from this, you can also dive the fullback, run a reverse with the other wingback, option, waggle the qb or bootleg the qb.
fun stuff!
