WI Russia and Austria attack Berlin after Kunersdorf (1759)

So, no Miracle of the House of Brandenburg. Russia and Austria follow up their victory at Kunersdorf with a successful attack on Berlin. Prussia loses the 7 Years War, and any chance of being a major German power, in 1759.

But I'm interested in what the results of this might be. What might the treaty drawn up look like? How might the alliances shift after the Prussian defeat? How might this affect the ongoing conflict between France and Britain?

The Obvious

Austria gets Silesia back...

France gets the Austrian Netherlands (price for helping)

Russia gets Courland and compensates Poland with Eastern Prussia

I assume there will NOT be an unspeakable sea Mammal, but The Brits are likely to lose Hanover - or they trade it back for the French colonies in America and India.

The shockwaves...

This could change the American revolution - French do not help insurgents against a kingdom because they fear the revolution might spread to Nouvelle France

This again could Change/prevent the French revolution (winning the war + keeping the colonies) eases the finacial burden on France

from there I can't see the past because of clouding butterflies...

How plausible would it be for France/Austria/Russia to win the European portion of the Seven Years' War in 1759, but still have the colonial conflict between France and Britain continuing, with Britain still eventually winning?
