Actual caliber almost certainly was not 90 mm

The article's Infobox lists the mortar's caliber as 90 mm. This is likely someone just converting the "9 cm" of the mortar's designation into mm. (cm designations in Austrian and German designations sometimes excluded decimals.) Various sources claim the mortar's caliber was 91 mm, 91.2 mm, and 9.15 cm. The Plumier reference in the article lists it as 91.2 mm. I do not have the reference works to pin down its exact caliber, but 90 mm is almost certainly incorrect.
