Interesting. I've never seen a jack like you're describing.
Are these piggy back jacks designed to swap pins around for you? If pin
1 through 8 on the RJ45 part correspond to the 1st through 8th
connections on the 110 punchdown part, then you'll have split pairs.
At least you have CAT5 to work with. That's a happy place to start
from.

Subject: [AFMUG] Clip On RJ45 Jacks for Punchdown Blocks?
I've seen RJ45 jacks that plug right onto punchdown blocks. I'm about
to convert this wiring to Ethernet for VoIP. Can I take the easy way
out, remove the jumpers, and install the piggy-back jacks, or should I
really pull it all and punch it back down on a proper patch panel?
Don't want to cut corners, but if re-punching the whole lot can be
avoided, it would help cut the customer cost.
