Being a sidelock it probably has intercepting sears - i.e. A sear that blocks the hammers and is lifted out of the way when hammer is pulled. Having a bolted safety prevents triggers being pulled and thus hammers falling.

After closer examination I beleave that little lever blocks the safety from accidentally being applier or the safety is automatic and it blocks the safety from from automatically engaging.

The safety is automatic - on opening.
The lever simply prevents the safety slide from being accidentally pushed forward into the "fire" position.
Lots of doubles have bolted safeties.
