Answer
The British 8-Inch Howitzer fired a round that was 8-in Caliber (or 203mm) and weighed 200-lb.
The US Army used an 8-inch Gun and a 240mm Howitzer, which were similar and were actually considered Field Artillery. They had to be assembled to fire. The 240mm Howitzer fired a shell that weighed 360 lbs.
Typo-- I don't think there was a British 18-inch Howitzer, except maybe on a navy battleship.
