You may need to explain a pull through lever...
It allows you to have two levers controlling the same brake mechanisms, with the same cable. The cable runs from the lever at the end of the bull horn, and then through a second lever on the central horizontal but of the bars, before heading on to the brake.
As it happens, I am stood next to a bike with a similar setup, but on drop bars. The cable runs under the handlebar tape from the hood lever and then pops out before going into the cross top lever and then on to the brake.
I'll put a pic of it here.
Ignore the cable coming out of the side of the hood lever. That is for gear changing.
