Flintlock from Morocco for comment

This old flintlock was brought in Marrakesh, Morocco in the late 1940’s. Any information about it would be greatly appreciated. The gun has a barrel of 33 inches with an overall length of 45 inches. From the trigger to the butt is only 9 inches.
Does this style gun have a name? Is the gun associated with a certain people or area? How is a gun with such a short stock held when shooting?
Thanks for your help, Donny
