Dave,
The key elements of the Serrurier design is that the truss sections below and above the central "box" are designed to give the same end point deflection and the attachment points act as "pin joints" to allow rotation to maintain parallel alignment between the top and bottom rings.
If the truss design doesn't have these features then it's not a Serrurier truss design.
