It looks like an Epaulette Mate and a Morphy Mate combined.

E-Paul-Morphy?

No, a smothered mate should be a mate given by a knight to the king, but the king is completely trapped by his own pieces. The king was not completely trapped by the pieces, the rook was what stopped him, so it is a good mate, but not a smothered mate.
