Based on what I have read about pneumatic schematics, this looks like a fancy way of operating a cylinder in 2 positions, out or in, since when one side is pressurized, the other would be vented to the atmosphere. I considered a similar approach myself, but abandoned it when I realized there was no way to make it work properly without complex programing or trapping pressurized air in one side of the cylinder. Also, I'm not sure if solenoid flow control valves are legal, but in this configuration they certainly are since it is a second solenoid and according to <R74> only one solenoid can be used to control every commanded action of a pneumatic actuator.
