I haven't seen a set up quite like that, no. If Honda says don't use it, I wouldn't. Also do a lot of research on your exact car and powertrain on the tow capacity of your Honda. Some are rated very low but when properly equipped, can tow up to 5K.
The WDS you have looks like it is missing the tongue brackets.

The connections with the hooks for the chains are in square tubes on top of the frame, one marked R &L for the side. The distance between the hooks is 31 inches, wider than the frame which has the bars a few inches wider outside the frame so I wonder if this setup is an anti-sway bar setup instead of a WDH. My Pilot has a 5000# towing capacity and the manual says anything less would not need a WDH which they do not recommend. I think it is because the Pilot has unibody construction and does not have a frame. If it is an anti-sway setup, I would try it.

It looks to be a WDS, I don’t see any friction built in to give it anti sway capabilities. Google Equal-I-zer to see an example of a friction type of a anti sway bar with WDS capability.

I agree, an older WDS, not a sway control.
I'm not familiar with Hondas, but I know WDS on a unibody Subaru Outback can cause the rear doors to pop open...
