British Infantry Reserve Ammunition Caissons

I have read that the British infantry reserve ammunition was carried in artillery caissons. Assuming this is true. . .

1. Were the caissons specially built to hold infantry ammunition?

2. If so how many cartridges could a caisson hold?

3. If the caisson was just a standard artillery caisson, how many cartridges could it hold?

4. In the 1815 Waterloo Campaign how many caissons were dedicated to a British / Anglo-Allied division?

Thanks!
