The back would be a part number. My total guess would be it's for a WWI or before.

I put the plate in - verbatim - to Google and had several hits for cannon of 1890 to 1906. And, interestingly, whaling harpoon guns!

The back is a part number as well as a revision to the document that goes with its manufacture I think.

You might want to contact the guys at IMA International Military Antiques | Military Collectibles, Militaria, Antique Guns, 400 years of Military History for Sale ima-usa.com They seal in a lot of antique artillery and there's a chance they may be able to ID it. Definitely a cool piece!
