Are any of these Soyuz controls involved in separating the orbital module?

According to this Q & A, it's very likely that the Soyuz spacecraft's orbital module can be manually separated independent of other spacecraft operations.
On this CollectSpace page, there's an excellent photo of a bank of Soyuz control panel buttons with guards to protect against accidental activation of critical functions:
I note that three of the buttons (#3, #12, #13) are labeled with "ÑO", the abbreviation for ñытþòþù þтÑÂõú (bytovoi otsek), or Orbital Module. I don't know any Russian, so I can't tell what the remainder of the labels say. It looks like buttons #12 and #13 are labeled very similarly if not identically.
Are any of these labels plausibly interpretable as "separate/jettison/disconnect orbital module"?
Any transliteration/translation/interpretation of the other controls is welcome in addition.

The 12th and 13th Critical Command Keys "ÞâáâàÕÛ ÑÞ" are ÑÞ (Orbital Module) Jettison.
The ÑÞ separation (jettison) can be executed either automatically on
the nominal separation schedule within the unified cyclogram or on the
ÞÃ’Ú12 and ÞÃ’Ú 13 Critical Commands in case of the urgent descent
before the áÚÔ (Orbital Maneuver Engine) ignition for retrofire.
Perhaps you have to press them both simo? (Still checking on that.)

The duplication of the OM jett control is really interesting -- is it really the most drastic of these operations, that it requires the extra guard of simultaneous press?
