8,8 cm Raketenwerfer (Puppchen)

I'm working on a model of a puppchen and I was hoping someone could solve an issue for me. The puppchen has an arm on the left side of the bore that attaches the breech to the frame (see picture).

Does anyone know if that arm telescopes? I have only been able to find one good source for pictures of it. All the other references are missing the arm.

Below from Waffen-Revue Nr. 5:

N:o 6 in the broken down Püppchen pic below is Oberlafette mit Dämpfer and the damper does telescope; Cylinder end attached to the upper carriage and piston rod to the breech ring. Some description in the German text way down from same source.
