I feel fulfilled.

You’re right - it’s a pop-up breech. I’d assumed it was a badly-drawn rear sight with protective wings.

Reading the translation, it can be read (though is open to interpretation) to suggest that the Barton was the D22 style, the Redcastle the 25, both described as carbines, and then there was the u/l rifle.
