Looks like you have it figured out. I'd accept that answer. Makes sense.
Thanks for sharing  this subject with us. Maybe in the future when it comes up again, we can fall back on your findings.

That handle isn't a Voyager feature, at least not a North American ZN1300 Voyager feature.  The left-hand passenger grab rail doubles as the 'hoist point' when putting the ZN1300 on its centre stand.
