When I first saw it, I too thought the barrel came from an Omani/Persian long arm.  It appears narrower at the breech, so believe it is a cut -down barrel re-used. 
I recently found examples of these A-F barrels, but stocked up in Northern India, (Afghan style mostly, ) so whether they are Persian, or came from other parts of India I do not know.  Trade could well account for them being up North.
