It would have been interesting to do the test on rifle cartridges with 36 inch barrels. I'm referring to Models 1876, 1886, 1894 and 1895's made with 36 inch barrels. Come to think of it, Mark Douglas was shooting a 36 inch barreled M1895 in fairly recent times.

The 1886 according to the William Porter research is 60.
The 1876 is 12 according to Herbert Houze.
The 1873 records have not been completely surveyed so who knows.
The 1866 records are not complete, most

It reminds me about the confusion that often occurs with the .40-60. There's the .40-60 WCF that was chambered in the M1876 Winchester, Whitney-Kennedy rifles and others. The Marlin .40-60 version chambered in the M1881 was interchangeable with the M1876 Winchester. …

There's an amazing number of cartridges that are covered by approximate three case lengths.
Not an inclusive list:
The Winchester M1876 series (all of these were available in the Whitney-Kennedy):

The Colt Lightning Express rifle chambered two different case length cartridges. From the M1876 Winchester offering, the Lightning Express rifle came in .45-60 and .50-95. From the M1886 series, the Lightning Express rifle came in .38-56

I can't imagine how hard it would be to work on an 1876 set trigger since the lower tang is integral with the receiver. On a complete gun you would have the barrel as well.
Also, I seem to recall that…
