It was a very busy day at work, but here is what I was able to find. As Rob mentioned, they are indeed the same style as the 25 pounder, but smaller diameter rope and hook and chain. As Adrian mentions, the 25 pdr is 3" rope, and the 6 pdr is 2" dia rope.
I'll show the 25 pdr rope and it's makeup from the parts manual on this post, and on the next post I'll show the 6 pdr rope and it's makeup.

Now here is the 6 pdr. One notable thing is that it does not give the length, but rather a footnote which says "as required". I'll research this further. The rope we had that I thought was a NOS 6 pdr rope turned out to be 50' long, which seems a bit lengthy to me. I had a quick check of the 6 pdr over at the main museum, and it does not have it's drag rope.
When I get a chance later in the week, I'll check the inventory of accessions and see if there are any dragropes hidden away.
