OB Gun Experts - Question About Antique gun

Can anyone identify the gun above the WWII Japanese rifle?
It is an early rifle but we can't figure anything else about it.

There was probably a name or model on that plate that's missing in the 2nd picture... No other markings on it?

Looks like it could be a Kentucky Long Rifle.

I always thought it was a reproduction, and so did my dad. However, a self-proclaimed "gun expert" has said it was original.

It is in my dad's "Marine room." There are pictures of every plane he ever flew during his career (though some are stock photos of the models he flew).
The Japanese rifle was obtained during the battle on Okinawa. The airfield was fairly close to the fighting and Dad said there were piles of these rifles along the road between the field and the battle front. He had to stash the gun into his B-24 (yes, the Marines had a few B-24's) to eventually get it home.
