It is a little confusing but it is correct.

The small sized outer hole has a normal double sided sprung contact, the larger outside hole has a single sided larger contact arm that when actuated by the small round pin of the 2 pin DIN plug, open circuits the switch between 2 of the rear contacts (there are 4 contacts on the rear).

Photo attachments show example.

Also on eBay is this example

Interesting that the supplier calls the 3 pin DIN socket 2 pin.
