Here it is again from Linear Technology
https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/LT1010.pdf
It originated as a way of improving the slew-rate of a 741, so it has been with us a while!
R5 is necessary to make the op-amp draw current from the supplies in order to provide base bias to the transistors.
You can't make a stereo version out of a dual op-amp though!
