Thought that might be it...for that movement, both the Violin 1 and Violin 2 parts have a three-staff system showing all parts. No specification is given about how to divide it - having a 'rear section' is common, but I've also played it with normal a3 divisi, which produced a wonderfully-uniform texture, but was more challenging both for conductor and players.
