What do you mean "in the form of a cryptic"? Cryptic and non-cryptic crosswords both use the same shape and grids here. Often the same grid will offer two sets of clues. Do your cryptic crosswords have a different shape?
By [arbitrary, I suppose] US convention there are no unkeyed letters in a "regular" crossword, while cryptics are modeled after the British(?) practice of having just about every other letter unkeyed. As is the case in this non-cryptic one.
Come to think of it, I've never seen a British crossword puzzle that wasn't cryptic!
What is the practice in other countries?
I've only ever seen the "no unkeyed letter" format in children's puzzles here in Zild. Both cryptic and non-cryptic crosswords routinely use the pattern shown in the example under discussion.
