You'll notice that the referee is actually calling the uprights and the back judge (5-man crew, I believe) is simply saying thumbs up or thumbs down on whether it's cleared the crossbar. Both wings are still on their wings.
We still give the R the uprights in our 4-man games with the LJ signaling up or down on the crossbar from the corner of the endzone.
As far as working on the field like that, the snarky comment is "hey, it's the SEC, circa 2006!"
We had a HS crew of old-timers up until 4 years ago where the R wouldn't let the BJ/LJ (at the time) signal good on kicks -- they just gave a thumbs up and he would be the only one signaling good. They since have joined the 1970s.
