If the batteries are in series, one switch will cut off both... so are these in parallel?

Maybe Jim has the key here: an original equipment dual battery setup would have two 6-volt batteries in series, both mounted on the bumper in the case of the 17... unless this was a custom exception. The interior battery could have been added in parallel as a modification.
Regardless of why the batteries are configured this way, it does illustrate the idea of providing a switch for an inside-mounted battery but not for an outside-mounted battery.
