No problem :D . This is a Japanese-made Type 31 75mm field gun, also known as the "Arisaka gun". There was also a mountain gun version(no shield). The curved shield also served as the seat for gunners.

The Japanese used them(not very successfully) againest Russians in the Russo-Japanese War, but supplied both types to Russia during WWI. Two Type 31 guns were still preserved in Finland and Czech Republic, but both are mountain gun version.

Jos,

We can see part of the breach on the right, typical of a De Bange gun. It is either a 120 mm De Bange Mle 1878-16 or a 155 mm De Bange Mle 1877-16. The carriage fits too.

Were these De Bange guns frequently used in the Wehrmacht ?

It doesn't seem like it since we do not see many pictures of these guns actively used by German troops. :idea:
