Thank Lagopus. Actually a few months ago I took a look at Henry Patent and Henry A&T patent rifling use numbers on Reilly's, and other guns, hoping to be able to use them to date a gun. Early on 1860-65 all looked well....then it fell apart:

The A&T patent use numbers on Reilly SN 21369 are 3793, 3794 - close to the Henry patent A&T use numbers 3524, 3525 on SN 21361. I was never sure how the A&T patent use numbers intersected with the regular Henry patent use numbers....but from the attached line there obviously were at least a couple of chronologies..... A&T started in 1862 and early on looked to mesh with the Henry numbers..but I gave up trying to make sense of it all:

21361 - E.M. Reilly & Co., Oxford Street, London & Rue Scribe, Paris. .450BPE. Rifle SxS. U-L, hammer gun. Henry patent A&T use #3524, #3525
21369 - E.M. Reilly & Co., address not mentioned. .450 BPE Rifle SxS. U-L, hammer gun. Henry patent A&T use #3793, #3794; JP Patent 1452
