Trade Rifle Butt Plate?

[WawaDuane]

I found what I suspect to be a trade rifle butt plate.....or maybe not. The location is certainly right but I'm not sure on the rest. Any ideas? It could be something completely different....not sure. It's 5 3/4" long.





















Not sure if it's this way?




Or this way?

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say 1842 Springfield

Also could be a shotgun or musket butt plate. It has two screw holes, and lots (not all) trade muskets had the butt plate nailed on. It doesn't look like a trade rifle butt plate to me.
