Indeed. This pattern is not nearly as well-known as the KBPK draw. But it seems just as elementary. And it seems more important to have, because the KBPK would be solved by using 5-men EGT, even with a doubled edge Pawn. While this one can be extended to an 11-men.
I guess KBPK could still cause trouble if the weak side has extra Pawns even when using EGT, as the strong side could avoid capturing them to stay away from the EGT.
