they are still muzzle loaders where as the bp conversion is actual cf brass cases in cylinde
edit....
westlake are still loaded from the front into the cylinder and i believe use shotgun primers to ignite which are still percussion.
the bp conversion cylinder is strengthened and as a separate piece at the rear where they are 6 individual firing pins which are activated by the original percussion hammer

My mistake, as already mentioned, the back plate part of the conversions I referred to has firing pins and does not take shotgun primers. Sorry for causing confusion there, don’t know why I said that. I have edited my post above to avoid any more confusion...
