The Admiralty of Zeeland employed an odd set of gun calibers

From what I have seen from Ron van Maanen's lists, and from what Carl Stapel recently saw, I can tell that the Admiralty of Zeeland had ships equipped with some very different gun calibers, as well as many of the usual types:
24pdr
20pdr  carried by Amsterdam
18pdr
16pdr  carried by West Cappel
15pdr  carried by Hollandia
12pdr
10pdr  carried by Neptunis, Amsterdam, one of the Zeelandias
 9pdr
 8pdr
 7pdr  carried by Goes, Sandenburgh, Eendracht (24 guns)
 6pdr
 5pdr  carried by Zeeuwsche Jager, Wapen van Zeeland
 4pdr
 3pdr
