The example I am using is a Alchemist 1/Wizard 4/Natural Alchemist 10, all prestige class caster levels added to Wizard.

(Natural Discoveries) Natural alchemist class levels stack with alchemist levels for the purpose of qualifying for and using these discoveries (but not others).

At 3rd level and every 3 levels thereafter, a natural alchemist adds 1d6 points of damage to her bomb damage, gains one additional bomb per day, and treats her alchemist level as 1 higher for the purpose of qualifying for discoveries that affect her bombs.

His effective level for 'natural discoveries' should be 11.
His effective level for 'bomb discoveries' should be 4.
His effective level for 'alchemist discoveries' should be 1.
Now the FAQ says:

It depends on how the archetype's ability is worded. If the archetype ability says it works like the standard ability, it counts as that ability. If the archetype's ability requires you to make a specific choice for the standard ability, it counts as that ability. -- Link

Natural Discovery - Class feature
At 2nd level and again at 4th, 6th, and 8th level, a natural alchemist gains a new alchemist discovery from one of the rare natural discoveries below or from the following list
To me this sounds like it should count as the Natural Alchemist having the 'Discovery' class feature because it works like the standard ability but requires you to make a specific choice.
Does this allow you to take the feat extra discovery?
