Musket lock plate identification

[Bama Reb]

Was high bidder on eBay for this lock plate, can anyone identify it? Have not received it yet, it’s shape and size looks identical to a Tower/Enfield lock plate, there is no date stamped on it, just an anchor and the letters D and C, only got $26.54 tied up in it so no big deal if it’s not an historical piece.

Definitely has the shape of a Tower lock plate but the holes are different or missing from what I’ve seen. Not an expert by any means. But it’s very neat and most probably a Tower/Enfield type.

It's from a Brazilian light minie rifle. Sort of a 2 band Enfield clone. Originally made in Belgium for Brazil, they were bought up by the North for the Civil War. BRAZILIAN LIGHT MINI RIFLE — Horse Soldier

That’s one of the great things about this site; such a wealth of knowledge.
I thought that I knew Enfields and their off shoots, but had never heard of this one.
Thanks Trot.
