Dating of chambers for breechloading cannon

A rather challenging question. It does need someone with significant knowledge to provide information on such subject. Until now i have gone myself as far as realizing that, the dimensions of chambers as well as their profile, only had to do with the caliber and type of the different breechloading pieces.
A forum member that could potentially explore such area (Matchlock) is now deceased; i wonder whether there are other members who are in possession of such data.
Meanwhile if you use the search button you could find further details on breechloaders, although not necessarily what you are looking for.
