Looking at the pictures again, it appears that the front lock bolt is not actually drilled through to the lock plate side. Is this to keep the web very thin in this section? Maybe not enough clearance for a bolt to pass through?

You are correct the front lock screw is cosmetic, and doesn’t go into the lock plate
Maybe the original was done that way? Not sure
