On the rear standard the front of the clip releases the bellows and the back of it lets you release the gg and its frame.
This was on all of the Kardan cameras starting with the original round rail Super Color and all Super Color successors and contemporary Kardan cameras like the B, GT, TL, etc. except for two models. The Kardan Standard and its replacement, the Kardan ST that you have. On those cameras you have to send if to a Linhof service center as it uses a special bellows that allowed full movements with all lenses from 65mm to 360mm.
