Help with a museum restoration. Can anyone identify this model?

Hello . I have volunteered to do some restoration and repair work for the museum at Bucklers Hard in the New Forest near my home in the South of England. This is the current project before I make a start on her.
Can anyone identify the ship ? It is very well made by an obvious craftsman, but is very dirty and the rigging needs a lot of repair.
There is no name on the stern or the base.

The previous repair on an HMS Swiftsure frame only model was straightforward . I had to repair some broken frames and manufacture a missing one, But this will take a bit more time.

Thanks shipmates.

There are a number of oddities on this model. A.) The wheel is mounted on the barrel instead of on the other side of the pedestal, leaving no room for the tiller rope, B.) Battens are running athwartships on some of the gratings, which was not done. C.) Mitered corners on the head ledges and coaming pieces instead of the way they were actually built. I wonder why the museum has an interest in a model with such basic mistakes.

Looking at the model as a whole: it is a lot more detailed than most decorator kitsch but it looks to have more in common with kitsch than it does with an accurate scale model. It may be sailor made but wouldn't its possible value to the museum be more with who made it and what his history was?
I have done very little masting and rigging, but the yards - are they over scale? Are some of the rails over scale?
When did the use of gunport lids stop being used? I think they went to only lower half lids sometime in the 19thC. for the top deck.
