Dedicated crank throw = "opposite" (or "boxer") engine.
Paired = "V"-engine; even when cylinders are in fact opposed.
For example, testarossa engine is a 180° ("flat") V-12.

Porsche 911 engines always were of boxer type AFAIK.

I can see now how paired rods would make no sense, it was just vey striking to see the open crankcase like that. First time for me.
