I know the term "clerestory" can be applied to a variety of rooflines which permit windows above the normal top of the interior walls, but was wondering if there's a specific name for the version where the roof comprises two "normal" sloped sections with a vertical offset at the ridgeline. This pic shows an example, albeit without the windows.

You have it right: Clerestory roof. Here's one with a centrally-located wall. Although most definitions do include reference to windows, it's the same roof structure.
