This variation is definitely kosher - I've seen a few like it before (very few, actually), and it definitely is a Francotte variant. I have a large sporting action with safety, but the 'normal' Francotte cocking indicator. Think I once put up a pic on this site... The safety lever was removed and the hole plugged, though, and I still haven't made any progress in getting a new safety lever made.
