Is this a Peabody?

[4V50 Gary]

This image is from the Central African Republic. Is this chap wielding a Peabody?

Don't think so. Where's the hammer?

Not a Peabody. It appears to have a center hammer with a hinged receiver top.

Looks like a shotgun with the hinge pin on top, shrouded
action with an exposed hammer spur/cocking lever.

No idea who made it or when. Might even be cobbled together
from parts---

Check this link. This guy has one very similar but with a shorter barrel and stock.

Barrel says "shotgun" to me.
