I think so, but I’m not sure why I think so

Very hard to see … It could just be flat bar with a narrow end to go through the slot on the right, while on the left side of the rack is a bend-over bit that the flat bar hooks into somehow? Maybe with a separate retaining pin though both the bar and the rack’s vertical strip?
