Yes it's Moroccan and likely 19th/early 20th century. The use of flint/snaphaunce locks lasted much later in North Africa, in fact well into the 20th century in some areas, due to ease of getting hold of powder etc but no easy access to fixed ammunition.
Re the marks on the top of the barrel---if you can post a clear pic of these I will see if I can find them in any of my books.
