Thank you for your input Fernando.
No, this is not the "molinhas" lock. Although the manualy operated half cock external pawl (gancho) is that of the usual molinhas system, the internal spring is not that of the molinhas but the 'conventional' one, reason why this is called a half Portuguese half French lock.
