Note that the hidden bite is notched to the rear for a sliding bar to engage as is the front lug.
The third bite in your picture is not easy to see, but is there! the top lever actually slides over the small notch in the rib extension. A true "HIDDEN THIRD FASTENER" is a rib extension, AH LA H&H, where the rib extends through the extractor into a hidden recess in the breach face! I find the doll's head to be the better of the two types. The best being the dolls head with a bite in it's back side AH LA WESTLEY RICHARDS. This type really has four fasteners! The one shown in you pictures has four as well!
