Guys: Does this look like a lock from the Mirouku Brown Bess replicas ? Thanks.

Thank you ALL for your replies. And thanks Grenadier for the pic. I bought one of these Mirouku Bess's second hand back in the early 1980's. But couldn't remember what the lock looked like. (Should have kept it). The above photo from Grenadier is now what I remember. The lock I posted has the flat (vs. curled) top jaw guide on the hammer which is more a copy of the Third model versus the Second model. The seller also says the length of the lock plate is about 6 5/8" with the width behind the pan being about 1.18" Seems just a tad small for a Bess lock (?) Here is another pic of the internals. The lock doesn't really look like one of the India made copies, but could be. Anyone have a guess ? Thanks.

Similar locks to this come up for sale on Ebay sometimes, my guess is that they are coming out of Pakistan.
