Hot Rod Huffy

Here's something interesting. It's a 1961 Huffy Sportsman with a three speed hub AND a three speed derailleur, a nine speed Huffy! It looks to me like this was somebody's home-brewed project, therefore I call it the Hot Rod Huffy. I think most of the extra parts are off of an old Schwinn, but I'm not sure about the sprockets. Anybody have any ideas? I read somewhere that Raleigh offered two speed derailleurs to convert three speed bikes to six speeds, but I can't see Raleigh using a Schwinn "Sprint" derailleur.
