Thanks Joe, I noticed this when I was cleaning up after shooting, but didn't know exactly what it was. That's pretty neat and shows how "cutting edge" these were at the time. Here is a picture of my lock.
I didn't find it too difficult to prime with 4f but I agree it is a little awkward as the shape is different than other flintlock pans.
Quick edit: I probably should have posted a picture of the right lock to show the similarity...
