The extra ring for LH 3 is for playing Eb or Bb as xox|ooo instead of using the side key (xxo|Bb ooo), cross key (xx'o|ooo) or long Bb (xoo|xoo or xoo|oxo). The small vent key in between compensates for LH 3 being closed when playing Eb or Bb as xox|ooo. I've fitted one of these to my plastic Yamaha as I've been using the forked Bb on my Selmers for a long time, and old habits die hard. It can be fitted to any clarinet, though it does mean major surgery.
The extra touch for RH 2 is a C-Db, G-Ab, or altissimo E-F trill key. It duplicates the action of LH C#/G# key. As this key is articulated, a B-C# or F#-G# trill is easy by holding the C#/G# touch down and trilling with RH 2. And any tremolos with a C#/Db or G#/Ab and any RH notes are also made easier.
