Beiland, I've never heard of there being a Frog POINT! I have only heard the parts of the frog refereed to as the toe and the heel.
I find the Schematics; or, drawings you've provided of the frog area as far more complicated than I feel they need to be. Maybe this is how Peco, Micro Engineering; or, Shinohara turnouts are made, I don't know. In reality, I like how the frogs are made in Atlas turnouts. They are very simple and the entire frog is electrically isolated and dead as they are produced. They are meant to be electrified through the use of a relay; or, to be dead if electrification is not needed.
