Juha: Those 122 mm howitzers seem to be 09-30. Notice the curved shield, which is the key feature between 09s and 10s.

Yes, Esa, it is mod 09 howitzer (09-30 or 09-40). But the real key feature is Krupp-style cradle (box)! Mod 10 (10-30 and 10-40) has Schneider-style cradle (two cylinders).

Ah, yes. My bad, a typo. I checked the name plate from my photo, but somehow still managed to write the type wrong :?
Thanks for the correction.

Juha!
Have you information about markings on these howitzers? IMHO yellow painting of their wheels shows that these were training guns. Is it correct?

Nr. 11 in the list is Ausf. G (not F) with reg. code Ps. 531-8 carrying the war time name Aili. It is opposite the entrance to the RUK Museum on the other side of the street.
