having got that brilliant info from the Royal Artillery Museum I contacted a local mil Historian who sent me this image and these insights.

" Interesting item. The main field artillery we had in the 1890s were 9-pounder Armstrong RBLs. We got 18 in, second hand, on refurbished carriages probably originally made for Rifled Muzzle-loading guns. It was a 3-inch weapon. Most of their ammunition stowage thought as on the carriage or its limber.
But we also had Quick Firing guns, 3- and 6-pounder (Hotchkiss and Nordenfelt), in the forts which would have similar cases (see attached pic, from an 1893 Treatise). "

Brent.
