My two cents, although I do not know the details completely...
The french Le
Glorieux (1756) was captured during the Battle of the Saintes or Battle of Dominica in the
Caribbean 12 April 1782. Together with
Ville de Paris, Ardent, Hector and
Cesar (distroyed).

A painting of the french prises after the battle
From wikipedia about the battle:
Rodney's failure to follow up the victory by a pursuit was criticised. Samuel Hood said that the 20 French ships would have been captured had Rodney maintained the chase. .......
On 17 April Hood was sent in pursuit of the French, and promptly captured two 64-gun ships of the line (
Jason and
Caton) and two smaller warships in the
Battle of the Mona Passage on 19 April.
Following this victory, Hood rendezvoused with Rodney at
Port Royal on 29 April.
As a result of the damage the fleet had sustained in battle, repairs took nine weeks.
.....
Disaster struck months after the battle when
Admiral Graves was leading a fleet
back to England that included the French prizes from the battle. The fleet encountered the
1782 Central Atlantic hurricane in September, which hit off
Newfoundland.
Glorieux,
Hector and
Ville de Paris, along with other ships, foundered or sank with heavy loss of life.
Comment:
So from end of April the fleet (and also french captured prises) was repaired during 9 weeks, so we are beginning July !
in addition on wikipedia about the Glorieux we can read:
She sailed with the fleet for England on 25 July 1782 but was lost later that year in a
hurricane storm off
Newfoundland on 16–17 September, along with the other captured French prize ships
Ville de Paris and
Hector.
Glorieux was lost with all hands, including her captain, Thomas Cadogan, son of
Charles Cadogan, 3rd Baron Cadogan. This disaster to the fleet of
Admiral Graves also saw the loss of
HMS Ramillies,
HMS Centaur, the storeships
Dutton and
British Queen, and other merchantmen from a convoy of 94 ships, with a total of over 3,500 men lost.
Comment:
This sequence of events
in April captured in Caribian sea
End of April to beginning July repaired in Caribian
during July preparation for trip to England
End of July start the trip to England
lost in storm in September near Newfoundland
makes it (at least for me) unlikely, that she was already adjusted or refitted in between. Usually these works also with changing the armament was done in England and took often several months or years.
BTW: also we can not find any contemporary drawings in the NMM, usually after capture a french vessel, the english shipwrights made detailed drawings of the ships and the alterations made (if any), but I am not aware about any drawings of the Glorieux.......
So I think, that as HMS Glorieux she look the same like the Le Glorieux........ but this is pure interpretation and not based on real knowledge
