The matchlock guns in the pictures don't necessarily have to be the same system as your unvulgar specimen. I would say it is some otherwise percussion system, with a rare or even an exclusive stock.
The action is too dinamic to be matchlock ... it is made to strike, not to lever down and hold. The ignition device looks more like a nipple for caps than a pan for slow combustion.
