Two Clarksons container's ~ What guns are they for ?

I've only ever come across these two that are intact. The smaller one years ago at an antique show and
the large one I just did a trade to get which kept the cost reasonable.
If any one can tell me what guns these were used with that would be great.

The Royal Navy collection shows this example. Wether they
will respond to having a numbered list for these is another matter.
If any one on this site is able to visit and reasurch that would be very
helpful or know someone who works or volunteers there who will.
I would do this if I wasn't 4000 miles away !
The description impies single mounted 6" guns where an internal hoist
is not used. Turrets with multiple guns used hoists and a different container.
