Short answer: yes, the South tended to have more split sections of mixed gun types than the North. Yankee batteries tended to be all of the same gun type (6 Napoleons, 6 3-in Rifles, etc.) while Southern batteries - as much be necessity as by design - might have been a mixed bag: 2 Napoleons, 2 3-in Rifles, 2 Howitzers, etc.
The only way to accurately depict that in the games is to split the Reb guns into sections by gun type - not necessary for the homogenious Union batteries. That said, I would much prefer the Union batteries be split into 2 gun sections as well so that both sides are on the same footing for ammo use and especially road movement.
