I remember doing some very old editions of Handel (I think it was Zadok) at school which were exactly like this. To us schoolkids it looked very peculiar with the altos apparently above the sops.

In two American choral works of the 1820s (different composers, different cities) I have encountered alto parts that are clearly intended to sound an octave lower than written, like the tenors.
