I would guess if it is original with 16" barrels and was sold to an Indian client, it was a specialist howdah rifle, or some other similar idea based on the specific clients specifications.

Maybe after someone had a close call with a tiger on the elephants back!

16" is short, but we see modern 9.3mm's (bolt actions usually) sometimes very short too.
