It is considered as an epaulette, u have both Gueridon and Epaulette, so a kind of "double epaulette".
A another special case :
We could call it an half epaulette ^^

Gueridon checkmate is also known as Swallow's tail checkmate.
The second is not Epaulette.
They are both mentioned in the book "The Art of Checkmate" written by Renaud , Kahn and Taylor.
It's one of the many mistakes in Chernev's books.
I picked that up as well: #705 is a Swallow's Tail Mate, not an Epaulette Mate. Note that epaulettes are military designations of rank that sit on top of each shoulder - alongside, not behind the head.
Chesstempo says:
Mate - EpauletteAn Epaulette mate involves a queen or rook delivering mate, while the two escape squares parallel to the king are blocked by the king's own pieces preventing escape.
Mate - Swallow's TailThe swallow's tail mate occurs when a queen delivers mate against the opponent king while protected by another piece. The queen is directly adjacent to the king, and the king is unable to escape due to its own pieces (typically rooks) blocking the two diagonal escape routes.

The queen is directly adjacent to the king.
I'm not sure , I might be wrong.
The main distinction that I could spot from the first Epaulettes and the later ones listed by @batgirl is that the first ones were done without assistance from any other piece but the mating one. The later ones listed had all some other piece aiding the checkmate, being it for a pin or to secure part of the runaway squares.
Therefore, I wonder. Is this an Epaulette as well?
