Master Cylinder Brake Fluid Level

[Jeep Nerd]

Hi,
I was flushing my brake fluid on my JL and I noticed there were two reservoirs in the plastic brake fluid level container(master cylinder) There was a larger one at the front and a smaller one at the rear. I just assumed one was for the front brakes, and one was for the rear brakes. I went on line and most of what I was able to find, also suggested this was the case. However, as I was flushing the brake fluid, I monitored the change in brake fluid level in the master cylinder when I bled the front AND the back brakes, and I noticed that only the front reservoir changed in level. Is this how it was to go, or had I done something wrong?
Thanks.

Do you have a manual transmission? if so, the rear section may be for the clutch slave cylinder. Just a guess since I'm not very familiar with these JLs yet.

No, I have the automatic.

Looks like both AT/MT use the same reservoir. The clutch portion is only hooked in in the MT.
