The NPH/Regular regimen involved having two shots of NPH and one of regular every day, and timing the shots so that peaks coincided with mealtimes. This is not MDI, which is synonomous with basal/bolus. In other words, you have a separate shot of fast acting insulin to cover each meal, and 1 or two shots of basal insulin to cover background requirements. Basal/bolus (or MDI) only got started when Humalog became available, and NPH or Lente was initially used for basal.
