If yu are referring to the raised panels on the breech that have a small projection to the front I looked at them more closely just now and they do not seem to have any purpose. they dont move in any direction. I put a wooden ramrod down the bores but could not feel any interior projection and again they did not seem to move.

I googled Schloss Weyerburg and got some good ground shots of it. It seems a fairly substantial place and widipedia says it belonged to the Schoenborn family, so lots of money there
