You are correct, the binder at the uppermost part is the 33.9mm tube slides over the top of the tube, which is reduced to receive standard 27.2mm seatpost.

I don't know how the binder attaches, but if it's just a reduced diameter section at the top of the tube with a longitudinal slit cut in it, that too is easy for a shop to do. Of course, even though a machinist could do this in a few minutes, it would probably cost a pretty penny from a professional machine shop.
