Most original flintlocks had pointed tails on the lock plates.
I was looking at that. The stock is clearly relieved for a rounded tail. I wonder if the lock had a pointed tail that was cut off to make the stock fit.

I took a look at that site ("Blackpowder Times"). It looks to me like it is mainly for replica owners and shooters.

While I am still trying to trace the gun, I found a post where a guy, without any explanation or source, posted that the initials stamped on wkyduckslayer's gun, "WMH".
