That article says that the "keyhole" spring on the left side is to "prevent jams", a bit odd since no other pocket model seems to have needed such a thing.

I suspect that the spring, or some sort of plunger driven by it, is intended to keep the barrel from turning and thus prevent unauthorized disassembly. Probably the screw was peened over on the inside to prevent removal.
