It's clearly a snap under lever that uses a relatively full sidelock plate so is limited to patents using that. For example Brebner sold a number of actions patented by others (I have one of his original Purdey thumbhole levers for example). Similarly I have a Lang's patent underlever sold by Patrick that looks very similar to the subject here. Jeremy

It is a trigger plate action with dummy sideplates. Just an educated guess. Now if Smallbore picks up on this (where has he been lately?) he should know, as he did for a time own the company that took in Lang. Lagopus.....
