While i agree that it's a pseudo-rinne sharingan, i disagree on the nature. Looking at just the tomoe design, the Sharingan has 1 ring and 3 tomoe whereas the Rinne Sharingan has the ripple pattern and 9 tomoe. I think a Sharingan exists that is intermediate to these two, which is red with 6 tomoe.

After all, what we've seen of the Mangekyo is that they're mere fragments of power of the Rinne Sharingan. The Rinne Sharingan has powerful Genjutsu, space-time ninjutsu and specific ninjutsu like the World of Trees. Mangekyou however only have one of these powers in significantly weaker form.

Sasuke's eye however has all three variants: A genjutsu strong enough to bind all biju (which Madara didn't even do with his Rinnegan, he had to subjugate them), Amaterasu as his "misc" power and Amenotejikara/Spacetime portal as his, well, space-time ninjutsu. Essentially his Mangekyo is no longer a sharingan "fragment" but a whole eye, although on a lower level than the Rinne Sharingan (which is why it lacks the outer 3 tomoe).

So, i suspect Sasuke's eye is a proper combination of Mangekyo and Rinnegan. A "Mangekyo Rinnegan" if you will. Unlike Madara whose Mangekyo seems to have transformed *into* a rinnegan (maybe because of his blindness?), Sasuke's *combined* into an eye that is beyond either. This probably also why he only has one: the sheer power of four dojutsu would probably make him go crazy. (four: Double Rinnegan plus double advanced MS).

This is supported by the fact that Sasuke's eye is a regular Rinnegan when his Spacetime power is over-exerted (the Tomoe and his Mangekyo disappear). So, the tomoe represent the presence of the Sharingan half of his power. I do think his eye is equal to a double rinnegan, but rather because his power partially comes from a Rinnegan (one half the power) and partially from an evolved sharingan (which adds the other half).
