Hi Shane! Welcome to Permies!
I'll give you my opinion of what it looks like to me. (I'm a relic of the 60's)
The two screw vents and the door vent are (as you know ), air intakes.
The small upper door is a clean out for the baffle.
The rod on top is no doubt an exhaust diverter . Wide open to start (generally pushed in ) and after warming up , diverting the heat around the baffle in the warm position (usually pulled out).
Wood cook stoves use a similar diversion design.
Without a hands on examination this is just my best guess.
