Thank you for your thoughts Fernando, Tocayo.
I had the same impression about the numbers purpose, only wasn't sure in this specific case.
I see your point about the breech marks around the ear; make me think of a certain system used to convert barrels from flint to percussion, where the barrel back is cut off , although in principle this is not the case.
