May one give a child a Meat meal on Erev Shabbos Chazon if they are always served on Erev Shabbos a meat meal?

Question

Inspired by Tasting the meaty Shabbos food on erev Shabbos Chazon: can one swallow?

Per Mishna Berura 551:70 it is not permitted to feed children meat during the 9 days unless the child is weak. May one give a child a Meat meal on Erev Shabbos Chazon if they are always served on Erev Shabbos a meat meal? Perhaps this is considered their Shabbos meal where they may be allowed to eat meat?

Per Igrot Moshe OC IV 21:4 if that is the usual time they eat their Shabbat meal because they don't stay up late until after maariv, then they may consume meat as usual.

אלא מאכילין אותן סעודת שבת בשעה או כשתי שעות קודם קבלת שבת יכולין אז להאכילן בשר – Gershon Gold Jul 10 '13 at 14:35

What about if it's not their "shabbos seudah" but simply what they feed the child on early friday afternoon during "lunch time" ... – Yehoshua Jul 26 '15 at 12:58
@Yehoshua IMHO it seems from the Teshuva that that would not be ok. – Double AA Jul 27 '15 at 05:44
@DoubleAA From the teshuva yes, however halacha l'maseh I would disagree. – Yehoshua Jul 27 '15 at 21:07
@Yehoshua Ok, well I'm just presenting RMF's position here. If you have more sources feel free to present them. I'm not sure why you'd disagree though. Lunch on Friday isn't a Mitzva. – Double AA Jul 27 '15 at 21:08
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding about what age of a child we are dealing with. – Yehoshua Jul 27 '15 at 21:11
