I know when I make rifles with hair triggers, I slant that trigger blade to the sear, and talk about hairy... You can get use to it, and find you really like it. :bow
By the way, I often thought about coffin cornering the ends on one of those flared breech plug tangs, and never have. I was just visualizing that on your rifle,,, think it might be cool to do that some day on a build.

maybe a double set trigger can be retrofitted. never did such a thing.
Very possible.
I was trying to get a look if that is a two piece set up with the trigger pinned an the plate screwed on?

I don't know without measuring, and of course comparing whats under that trigger plate. Here are some TOTW double set triggers;

At least when you get the trigger setup out that you have now, you can compare the slant on that blade with the one I posted. Now, there is always the option of installing a set screw (if you file out the slant which I believe is there) and adjust the set screw to the single trigger pull you would be happy with)... Just an option.

Your trigger guard is located to accommodate the single trigger and may not give you room for a DS. It looks like it is placed a little too far forward.
I would bet your trigger is pinned, you can make a new one easily or solder a piece on the top of the trigger bar to change the angle. I have soldered on extra metal a couple of times, it came out well.
Cold forging a trigger is kind'a fun, I have made all my single triggers so far.
Here are a couple of ones I just started and one I finished.

Every single one you have shown us is nothing short of eye candy.
And that is as it should be.
Ugly Muzzle loaders just ain't as much fun, certainly not as much fun as those elegant guns you have.
Sure hope you're doing better health wise.
