Rob, of course it is a sidelock. The locks are attached to the sideplate. It is not uncommon for a gun to have "false" sidelock sideplates, with a boxlock or even a triggerplate action. I think the Lefever in one of its iterations had sideplates with the lock on the interior of the gun. A friend has a John Dickson trigger plate gun with sideplates, making it appear to be a sidelock.
