Is something goes wrong, everything goes wrong!
Yes it should be be 8-6pdrs above the cabin (QD)
The 92 guns 3-deckers were the Prinses Maria, built 1683, the Prins Willem built 1687, the Keurvorst van Brandenburg built 1689, the Keurvorstin van Brandenburg built 1689, all of the admiralty of Amsterdam, dimensions 170 x 43 x 16, according to this source
There were more of this large ships, for instance the Unie, built 1692, the Vrijheid built 1795, the Amsterdam built 1712 and the Haarlem, all of the admiralty of Amsterdam!
I last look at this source indicates that all ships mentioned were from the admiralty of Amsterdam. I shall try to find more information dealing with the other (four) admiralties.

Concerning an earlier remark, a Dutch gunspecialist indicates that metal means bronze
