That's an older German system with the Bb/C key for the left thumb and RH index finger. It's like a thumbplate system but it works in the opposite way as you press the thumb key for Bb/C as opposed to releasing it as you would do with a thumbplate.
The side key duplicate the thumb key and is used for either the primary fingerings for Bb/C, for trilling to Bb/C and also for the upper register Bb/C where you physically can't use the 8ve key and thumb key at the same time. It would be better if this cor was fitted with a 2nd 8ve touchpiece to free up the thumb for the high Bb and C.
