It looks very much more like a "garrucha", a pistol built in South America, or a Belgian design than a true "Howdah" pistol; can you see anything at all on the bottoms of the chambers or the water-table when you open the pistol up or take the barrels off? If you can take a chamber cast, that might help to narrow it down a little bit.
