Default Afghan Jezail With ALL Possibles!

I've looked at a lot of old guns over the years. But seldom, do you find one with EVERYTHING, that went with it. This piece was collected in the 1960s by a member of the State Department. As best I can tell, it has all possibles you would need to fire, and maintain this weapon. Lock is marked MOORE. Barrel length is 36", with an overall length of 50". I can identify most of the accouterments, on the belt. However, there are some puzzlements. What are the two curved horn devices, on both ends of the belt? What is the purpose of the massive steel hooks beside them? Both powder flasks are attached to the belt, but I doubt they belong there. What is the turned wood, baton looking thingy? Any assistance is much appreciated, And please, no drooling on the keyboard. Sorry for the crappy photos.
