The Schwinn did have the front freewheel like that pic but a closer look, the quality is not Schwinn so not a Schwinn

From Google:
The Schwinn Varsity equipped with a front freewheel was specifically known as the Schwinn Deluxe Varsity, which featured Shimano's Front Freewheel System (FFS). This unique setup reversed the mechanics of a traditional bicycle drivetrain by moving the freewheeling ratcheting mechanism from the rear wheel hub to the front crankset bottom bracket
