unusual opening Is there a name for this opening?

It appears to be... An unusual variation of the Torre Attack? It normally produces quite exciting games, generally keeping the initiative with white for quite a while.

a6 appears to be a rather weak move though, can anyone shed any light on this?

In a pretty big database� I could only find 48 games that began this way, including
one played at GK between brunetti and mestrinho.
Here is that game:

White: brunetti (2191)
Black: mestrinho (2383)
