Indeed, they seem to be a halfway house between 'traditional' winglets and raked wingtips, which is what will feature on the next gen Embraers. There is discussion of this on a.net, and mentions of up to 6.4% fuel savings compared with the existing winglets, which is a very significant difference for one smallish aerodynamic change.
