Yes there could be many reasons why the cross piece does not exactly match the stated patterns.
I have had a closer look at the cypher in your last photo and it is definitely Queen Victoria so your sword is no later than 1901

Many, if not most or all, of these swords have a pommel that unscrews so that a basket hilt can be interchanged with a cross bar type.
