Once again, I was wrong :-( I ran outside to check, and it is two 
levers, not one. It looks exactly like you describe it.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that these hooks doesnt exactly 
hold the seat back if there's a big load pushing from the rear in an 
emergency stop. I remember once, I had something heavy in te back (cant 
remember what it was), I had to make a emergency stop for some stupid 
woman driving some stupid Japanese car, and the rear seat back folded 
forward as the load hit it from the rear. I thought my rear seat was 
broken but luckily it only pushed into place again.
