Lieste's post in Carronades was marked as the answer
32pdr shot have a high gauge of 6.207" and low gauge of 6.105" until the 1820s, when the gauges are revised to 6.207" and 6.147". The mean shot diameter is thus 6.156" early and 6.177" later.
Carronade calibre is 6.25" , with a smaller diameter chamber and an enlarged loading/blast cup muzzle extension forward of the muzzle swell moulding.
This build shows garlands at the hatch coamings.
