It looks to me like a "75 mm Mle 1929 de casemate".

Here is a nice French site with modern pictures of armement on the Maginot Line:

then click "La Ligne Maginot" on the left
then scroll down and click on "L'armement de la Ligne Maginot"
then click again on "L'artillerie" icon

first one :

It seems to be like a canon a tir rapide (QF in english) de 75mm Saint Chamond (modèle 1915 in the french army) :

NB : Saint Chamond and Schneider are the 2 big french private corporation building artillery for french or foreign army.

[kender]

The Lieutnant-Colonel DEPORT was the first creator of the french 75mm modele 1898. He quit the army before the end of its engineering. These 2 gun should be some prototype of the modeles 75C with a first version of the "frein de bouche"

the 75mm technologies were secret before the first Worl War. So in a book of 1910, differents models tested can be present (75C or 75B - obsolet versions).

Hi Emmanuel,

Until now, I had seen this gun with another type of wheels with pneumatic tires and solid rims.
