Purpose?
What is the purpose of this metal piece? It blocks the view through the key change hole, but its shape is so elaborate that this can't be the only purpose.

I don't know what the purpose of the plate is but when the bolt is extended the lever raises up and takes the plate with it, which would unblock the CKH.
Now that I think about it that might not be the correct dial and ring for that lock. It could be that it is a zero change lock. When you put the change key in the wheel pack the key prevents the lever from falling into the drive cam and screwing up the change.

Cheers
