In addition to lacking a push button knob, most all I have dealt with have that knob, it also lacks the parts to adjust the tension of the levers.
The front seat guy in a T-6 and also in other single seat aircraft could adjust the tension on a pack of clutch plates and spacers on a shaft.
This allowed you to lock the power setting on take off, particularly of a cat launch. to avoid the throttle or prop lever from changing with acceleration. Also the ability to fine tune adjustment for formation flying was crucial.
