My Guess is that it will be an SPG M43(?) which was used postwar by the British in the 50's. I will be pleasantly surprissed if it is a British design from WW2 and bet that if it is the tooling origin will be Bronco

Hi Wolfgang,

Al may wel be right the WW2 version was designated 7.2 inch as it had a lined down barrel converting it form the 8 inch to 7.2 inch howitzer.

Be delighted if it was though, as we would need a Scammell to tow it.
