Ed,
  I have a musket of the exact same style as the one you listed. The barrel on mine is numbered "42".  Nice that yours has a bayonet with it.

On 8/8/14 I posted photos and request for information on ALR and received several responses.  In part, was described as a commercial version that would have been exported to America, and with post 1813 proofs,  made between 1814-1815.

Attached is a link to that post: https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=32050.msg307267#msg307267
 
If interested, I could post some photos of mine.
Steve

Per article by Joe Puleo December 2019 article The British Volunteer Musket in Man at Arms Magazine, it is most probably an India Pattern Volunteer Musket.

Very nice uncleaned musket.

Ed,
  Regarding the bayonet with the "K W & A" mark, that would be "Ketland, Walker & Adams".
