The gun tubes might be original but the gun carriages probably are not.

The block trail gun carriage was introduced for the RHA in the mid-1790s and later issued to the foot artillery brigades as they became available. The French adopted the block trail with the new Valee artillery system ca 1827 and the United States adopted them shortly thereafter. That was the gun carriage in use during the American Civil War.
