Default Help ID this limber

Out at my favorite scrapyard again this weekend, and I dug out of the ground what I had hoped was going to be a gun carriage. Nope, more like some kind of limber. Markings on the hitch suggest RCD (Royal Carriage Department) with a date of 1-1896. Here are a few shots of it during the recovery.

A number of cast brackets and footman loops were found in the earth from where the wood had decomposed. There was a large bracket at the front that I thought was with the carriage (4th photo) but it turned out it was just a German 20mm flak gun receiver buried in the mud.
