In 4 feet you've got 4 uprights so strength wouldn't be an issue.
That could be a prototype or maybe they wanted copper's corrosion resistance.
12" x 1 1/2" or 12" x 2" are common bike sizes.
Have you looked at the brazing on BSA airborne bicycles? There is plenty of evidence of sloppy brazing on the two bicycles I have. Maybe these frames were produced in a similar fashion.
