2 motorcycles "Sokol"
6 Polski Fiat PF-508 command cars
3 Polski Fiat PF-508 light cars for AA MGs
2 radio cars on the Polski Fiat chassis
10 Polski-FiaT PF-621L lorries.
Could you tell me, if there is a chance to find some photo of them in Lithuanian service, or informations about markings, registrations number? I will be grateful.

No, no, no.
Lithuanian Army had at the day of the soviet occupation:
2 155 mm howitzers Mle 1917 Schneider
4 105 mm heavy guns Skoda (hruby kanon vz.35, 8 more confiscated by Germany at the beginning of June, 1940)
1 105 mm heavy gun K 17
70 105 howitzers Schneider 1934
8 83,4 mm field guns Vickers Mk II
4 83,4 mm field guns Vickers Mk IV
19 76,2 mm field guns Putilov 1902
111 75 mm field guns Mle 1897 (3 of them (ex-Polish) required repair)
9 75 mm AA guns Vickers
6 40 mm Bofors wz.36 (ex-Polish, 2 of them required repair)
150 20 mm automatic guns Oerlikon 1 II a S(called ŠAP, or anti-tank gun, from beginning of 1940)
1 20 mm automatic gun Oerlikon SLaS
150 20 mm LAP (German Flak 30, definitely NOT THE Flak 28)
6 20 mm Oerlikons 1 II a S for armored cars Landsverk L-181
25 Oerlikon 1S for LLT tanks
And, although mortars were not artillery, but infantry support guns:
1 120 mm mortar Tampella
109 81,4 mm mortars (100 Tampella 1934 and 9 ex-Polish wz. 28) and, may be, +2 81,4 mm Tampella mortars of the later, unknown, model
All interpretations in Russian sources are false, because they count not all weapons from Lithuanian Army and Russians used a lot of false names and titles.

8 83,4 mm field guns Vickers Mk IV
