film wind knob on mamiya 645 1000s


I have 2 mamiya m645's and a 645 1000s,
all have identical large plastic film wind knobs with fold out crank handles.
I recently aquired another 645 1000s, it has a smaller, streamlined metal crank(no knob) that doesn't fold. There's a small metal tab(spring loaded)
sticking out of the bottom. Any one know what this is for?

  Don't hold my feet to fire on this one but, I'm pretty sure it's the release so you can remove the handle and either put on the original or the auto-winder.
