Confirming OWD's point, here is a picture of a Verney Carron with sideplates showing the two screws mentioned by OWD:


Larry - Vouzelaud's outsourcing practice continues, here is a Grulla they are selling under their banner. The pin configuration seems unusual: Vouzelaud

Apparently, this sidelock/sideplate issue is a matter of some confusion. Here is an ad for this model (315EGL) indicating it is a sidelock (platine):
Platine

Here is an ad for this model indicating it is a sideplate (contre platine):
Contre platine

Regarding price, Vouzelaud is selling this same gun for 4.250 euros. I have an inquiry into them as to whether it is a sidelock or sideplate.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
