It also has been restocked, and poorly-look at the fit of the lock plate to bolster and barrel; and fit of hooked breech to barrel.
Not well done is right.
The drip rail fit to lock plate is very poor, as is the breech plug to tang fit as you noted.
A rifle barrel I'm sure - and the calibre might have been enlarged somewhere along with line, freshed or re-cut larger.
The lock and sotck doesn't seem to fit the size well. I've seen pictures (none closeup & personal, unfortunately) of Sporting Rifles up to 6 bore - .91 cal, where the barrel size was not evident, the gun's actual geometry being perfect.
