This has got to be a double pawl mechanism or else those teeth are as fine as hair
It is. It's a stacked double-pawl mechanism. This makes the ratchet heads substantially thicker, and seems to increase the ratchet backdrag.
I have one of the larger overdrive sets. I'm happy enough with the sockets (and the wrenches are fantastic), but the ratchets are IMO gimmicky. You'd be better served with a well made 90 tooth single-pawl mechanism. But the marketing folks had to have their way...

In this case, the additional head thickness is at odds with the putative purpose of a high tooth count - providing better options for tight spaces.
