Default Another Southeast Asian Gun. Or Is It?

Just picked this one up, a couple weeks ago. The general lines are similar to the other guns I have, which were all Vietnam War bringbacks. But, that's where the similarities end. It is shorter than the others, and, in a much larger caliber. The others all being around 40-45 caliber. This one is about .52 caliber. It had a ramrod. Not found on typical SEA guns. It only ever had one barrel band. (that I can tell) It is percussion. Never saw that before. And lastly, the lock parts, are attached directly to the stock. On every other gun I have seen, the lock mechanism is attached to a removable plate. Another oddity, is that the hammer is attached to the mainspring, by a linkage. Anyone have any info of this gun? Maybe, just a modernized version thereof? Have also attached a couple shots of my other similar guns.
