Yes sir.
This gent is holding the gun wrong imho. The butt was supposed to be tucked in the crevice between the arm and the chest and no cheek weld was required.
Atleast thats what i read right now.

The gent is familiar with shouldering rifles/guns hence he is trying to follow the best practice I guess

Its a Afgan Jezil, Used by Pastun Forces in way back 18th Century. This was the Main Rifle/Gun of Afgans in many of their batteles in 18th Century.
