To me, it seems that the metal finger, when pressed against the aluminum reflector, will create an electrical path that will bypass the resistored pathway and allow for direct drive. The insulation on the finger, which protrudes slightly past the conductor, will keep the conductor isolated from the reflector until force is added to overcome the slight gap. At least I believe that's how it works on my RAW NS.

The CR2 based Raw is very easy to disassemble. Why don't you open yours up and take a look?
My Raw works just like Macaw describes his NS.

There is an isolated pin that stick out of the circuit board. This is connected to a resistor and the LED. When you tighten the case the pin hits the top of the case bottom half and turns on low, If you tighten further the pin retracts into a sheath and the case hits the bottom of the circuit board turning on high.
The pin has a spring behind it and retracts into a closed end tube soldered to the other side of the board. It's very neat and only a few mm long.
