Following on from the research related to this link which supplies highly probably evidence that Scottish brick manufacturing companies were manufacturing bricks for the South American railways, then I believe that EIR is a brick manufactured for the Indian Railway networks and stands for the East Indian Railway.

The East Indian Railway Company, later known as the East Indian Railway (EIR), introduced railways to eastern and northern India, while the Companies such as the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, South Indian Railway, Central India Railway and the North-Western Railway operated in other parts of India. The company was established 1 June 1845 in London by a deed of settlement with a capital of £4,000,000, largely raised in London
