India, my memories of the '52 are fading now (it's been a while!), but I always considered the bolt to be there as a reminder not to retract the gear when one intended to retract the flaps post-landing. Other than that, I don't know the answer to your question.
It would certainly 'sit down' if you pulled the gear lever after landing - no squat switches.
