Sexton, the Bishop was much narrower, had overhead cover and the gun didn't have the muzzle brake fitted.

Probably for the narrow track version of the gun that started life as the Jury Axle, ie Carriage Mk 2. My guess would be carriage construction only.

According to wikipedia (which source is a Hogg & Thurston' book), it is a British WW1 "QF 6 inch naval gun, on high-angle mounting on railway truck, as anti-aircraft gun. This is probably located in Chatham Dockyard, defending the Thames Estuary. Originally published in an illustrated magazine during World War I. This version scanned from "British Artillery Weapons & Ammunition 1914-1918" by I.V. Hogg & L.F. Thurston, published by Ian Allan, London, 1972."

Crete or Greece? If Crete could it have been a gun from HMS York?

Isn't Crete part of Greece?
