I found a cache of old chess games on the internet. The openings are interesting enough for a second look. Game #6 - Chess Arena 3.0 calls this opening A41 The Neo-Old Indian: Modern,  3.e4 Bg7

I find double fianchetto systems awkward and difficult. Still, Black holds on until 1.e4 b6 2.d4 Bb7 3.Bd3 e6 4.Be3 Nf6 5.Nd2 d6 6.f4 g6 7.Nh3 Bg7 8.O-O Qe7
9.c4 Nbd7 10.e5 Ng8 11.Qe2 Nh6 12.Be4 d5? where White just gobbles up the center. 12...Bxe4 13.Nxe4 O-O and Black has a better time of it.
