Default Miquelet Escopeta Percussion Conversion

This well used Escopeta looks like it has a lock that has been converted to percussion and a barrel that has been replaced. It must have had a long working life. Comment are welcome.

It seems to me that the lock is not a conversion of a flintlock. It is not possible to see a photograph of the interior ?. Thank you

I had the lock off while looking for any marks but I don't think I took a photo. I'll look.
