Brooke Rifles in Greenville Park

I have just visited Greenville, SC and stayed at the downtown Holiday Inn Express. Lo' and behold, across the street is the Springwood Cemetery and at it's entrance is a park with a Confederate soldier memorial and two (2) 7" Brooke Rifles. I took some photos of the muzzle markings, but haven't been able to find out anything about these guns on the Internet.

Does anyone know the history of these guns?

Thanks,

Jim Martin
