Hi,
Most unlikely. The Persian contract artilleries were made by Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar and would have stamped them according the contract with Persia.
A contract would have been made up specifiying how the guns should be marked and how the acceptance of the guns would be arranged.
For larger contracts it was not unusual to have representatives of the contract partner/country at the factory for extended periods of time. During the production of the Turkish rifle contracts in the late 19th century, Mauser even built a Turkish-style house for the Turkish officer in charge of acceptance.
