Hi Norman, thanks for your input.
The truth is that the stock's shape is very similar, since ottoman tufenk must have been the prototype that the arab tribes copied. However, i have never seen an arab matchlock so short, while on the other hand the janissaries had short tufenk like this size.
However, the goat skin goes well with arab attribution.
