PMSL

My frikkin brain, first attempt to decipher that acronym came up with Positively S#**ing My Self. It's good, never you mind that the letters are wrong order.

Trying to work out how to change gear on that . . .

I like a man with an empty aquarium and a completed Rubik's cube. Proper thinking man.

Yeah. Confused too. There is a paddle missing either inboard like on lower end Sora, or behind the main lever like Tiagra. The gear outers look totally fcuked too at that angle. Let's ponder how it brakes with floppy levers pointing to the gods in the sky instead of down to hell.

WHole lever swings then there's a tiny little toggle (just under the cable) for your index finger.
They are old sora 8s from around 2000.

Just replacing those exact levers on a 2004 Kona Jake. I just can't see how they can be operated ergonomically in this setup . . .

Because you aren't visualizing extreme BMX stunts! 2000s era Sora works best pointed up like that if the rider is upside down!
