I just wanted to make two quick observations;

Firstly the picture above is of Kif settings, not paraflex.

Also, the setting to the left is covering the escape wheel jewel, and is infact more of a 'protective cap' to keep dust out, than a shock setting. Although it does have a spring and an endstone, the jewel underneath it is fixed, not moveable as is the case on the balance pivots, so it really affords it no shock proofing.
