It doesn't make much sense to me that they would screw the door pull on and then veneer over the screw head, in general practice in cabinet making the ornamental hardware is the last thing to go on after finishing. It may be that they installed a captive nut to thread the pull into or the pull has wood screw type threads on it's back side that screw into the door panel. It there any evidence of small brad nails around the face of the pull?
Regards
