That particular site is very good, especially that page, but keep in mind that headstamps may read differently from case-to-case, and fit the same gun. If you notice, he has 2 cases for the 3 inch field gun. You see this a lot, especially in the confusion around WWI when Navy guns and foreign guns were being adopted by the U.S. Army.
