it isnt strictly permanant in that this rear piece can be removed if wanted.

at least it is like that on my series 1 3012. (Or, as I like to call it..... my "pension fund") :)
If you go to the analogue classics article and scroll down to near the bottom, you will see a picture of the series 1 3012 and the part we are talking about.
