I'll bet it is in no way a cocking indicator.
I wondered if it might have something to do with an older gun being converted to the new-style coil top-lever spring at the same time it got the 1910 bolt and bolt-plate?
Speaking of the top-lever, it should have been color case hardened, not that nice nitre blue what would look great on a B or higher grade Remington Hammerless Double!
