The centre back is an inverted pleat.

I've been after Pleater for pics for a long time, too. In the meantime, get a Utilikilt (or pics of one) because they use the reverse (or ghillie) Kinguisse pleating style. As Pleater explained, some of the beauties of this style are that it makes a symmetrical garment, unlike other pleating styles, and it really looks quite good, too.
Here are clickable thumbnails of a canvas kilt I did years ago using this style. These pics aren't great - maybe I can reshoot some.
