Could be, Udo. The modification doesn't have to be British, though.

A grenade thrower; my first thought of Udo's example... honestly.

Well if you ever find yourself in Coburg Germany (or plan a whole vacation around ir like i did O_O)
Than you should visit the Veste Coburg for sure, the sheer amount of cannons, haquebuts, matchlock, armour, pikes, lances, shield, combustables..... well you know, just a place were anyone of us would like to take his/her residence

Attached are some more pictures i found of flintlock Tower (addapted?) grenade throwers.

Many thanks for this help. It is interesting to learn that such type of guns have been obviuosly and actually in use during the 18. century. But the ammunition or the grenade used is still a mystery for me
