'd be interested to know about any piece in 6/4 before 1850 which is
clearly 3x2/4, do you know one?

William Billings: "Modern Music." The text of the 6/4 section addresses
the issue directly, and makes it clear that compound 6/4 was
commonplace:
"Through common and treble we jointly have run.
We'll give you their essence compounded in one.
Although we are strongly attached to the rest,
Six-four is the movement that pleases us best."
Numerous other examples could be cited, but this one is particularly
blatant.
