It's the first time I hear about the meaning of yellow colour. I believe it's just an imitation of varnished wood colour.

As I know, Finnish Army typically uses yellow colour to mark training equipment. Some guns of collection of Suomen Tykistömuseo in Hämeenlinna have yellow wheels. :wink:

I managed to clarify the coordinates 76 ItK/29B AA gun in Hamina. So, 60° 33' 58.13" N 27° 11' 47.91" E
I attach the scheme
76 ItK 29B Hamina.jpg
and two photos. One from the Kaivokatu 1,
Kaivokatu 1.jpg
another from the Sibeliuskatu 11. The gun can be seen clearly.

It remains to find the location of two 122 H 09-30 howitzers with mortar (photo by Juha).

Juha, thank you. This is definitely the place. I also just found it! :) 60° 33' 55.68" N 27° 12' 18.82" E
Do you know the type of the mortar? May be it is 120 Krh/40?

I spent a little searching and now I'm almost sure - 120 Krh/40. A little later, I will revise my table.

Well... military/resrvist serving in the Finnish Defence Forces will ease seeing that gun...

For those not that easy access to the gun, here some "old" additional photos of the AFAIK gun # 2028
(sorry for the low quality of the pocket camera photos)
