Removing Interior Door Handle

I’m trying to remove a door handle with a thumb turn lock but I can’t see a way to take it apart. 
I’ve remove many door handles in the past but this one has me stumped. 
There’s usually a small grub hole on the thumb turn lock but this one doesn’t seem to have it.
Any idea’s anyone?

    with no sign of a grub screw, could it be a (tight) push fit that needs a bit of levering to get it off?

    The plastic cap with the slot in it on the outside plate might hide a screw.  Carefully try to lever it off.

    I would try and pull the complete cover off starting from the top. The plastic insert should come away with it.
