Instead the rails would go through and the "mullion" would be broken into separate "muntins". More or less a universal rule with traditional door construction.
But there will be exceptions!
(UK terminology may be different?)

Maybe a square section half lapped then the wider section glued on top?

Easier to cut the miters.
