Well I bought some old gun parts... They apear to be mid 19th century original cap lock. Can any one help me identify it?

Is that percussion drum a factory thing? It looks like a conversion piece to me, but the again I do not see mount holes on the side plate for a hammer (frizzen) spring.....the entry pipe does not seem to match the rest and the bent buttplate suggest a wide, flat, rounded toe....something like an English fowler. It is a .69 cal. Smooth bore. So... Other than rusty junk, what did I impulse buy?
