Jos,

I agree with you. And the gun is the 7.5 cm franz. Flak C/39 (7.5 cm CA Mle 97/39 on Mlke 39 platform) mentioned on the document of Nov. 1940 you posted on page 1 of the thread "7.5 cm Flak M.36 (f)" you've referenced.

Note the white "grenades" painted on the legs of the carriage. There are symbols of the French Army. It seems to me that it would indicate that they are guns captured recently and not used (yet) by the Wehrmacht despite the German soldiers surrounded it. A painted white grenade is visible on the leg of the gun on the 2nd picture Jos posed on 14 Jan 2014 at 15:00 in the "7.5 cm Flak M.36 (f)" thread.
