Jeep makes a brake system that is disc and drum brakes in one?

Has anyone else ever seen this? I was working on a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I removed the back what appeared to be brake rotors, and discovered that it has brake shoes under the rotor/drum/whatever you want to call it. The shoes are NOT the e-brake. They react with the brake pedal. It also has a caliper with pads on the rotor/drum/whatever. Has anyone else ever come across this? I was very surprised, and so was everyone I know. I believe it's called a disc-over-drum brake system.
