The ports in the rear position go towards the take-up piston. Notice also in your attached ECS photo that the outlet port is angled back towards the take-up piston. I'd bet the valve is inserted from the bore side and not from the top like in most illustrations.

I suspect what you see is a retaining pin for the piston assembly in the forward position . I'm unwilling to disassemble my new M3 master cylinder to find out.
