Just for consideration, it seems that it may be a battallion staff weapon since it would be a bit of a jump from regiment all the way down to a battery weapon. So perhaps the first marking is (Bavarian) Feld-artillerie-Regiment 3, Batallion 6, Waffe 2. I agree that the second marking probably has an "E" rather than "F", therefore the second may actually be 3.AR.6.E.B. which I would think is (Bavarian) Feld-artillerie-Regiment 3, Ersatz Batallion 6. This is just a WAG but would seem to give some consistency between markings. I am out of my league on marking so I may be all wet.
Beautiful weapon by the way. A real prize.
