Id french AA guns

[Manuferey]

With all due respect to Alain Chazette, I'll go with Guy François's designation: 90mm modèle 1932/C 1932 sur affût M.C.A modèle 1932.

The gun indeed had a lateral shield.

Sturm78,

Here is another picture but of much lesser quality (not a press photo like yours) posted on a French forum (ATF40):

But no ID of the mounting is given.

From what I understand:

1) The 90 mm Mle 1926-30 (90 mm CCA Mle 26-30 sur affût Mle 31) is the 90 mm Mle 1926 naval gun mounted on a new fixed carriage. It looks similar to the 75 mm CA Mle 1924.

See a picture here:

or here:

2) The 90 mm Mle 1932 is the gun that Alain Chazette calls "90 mm CA Mle 26-30 sur affût remorque Mle 1932". You can see that the mounting including the recoil mechanism looks very different from the Mle 26-30 above. The tube itself looks different too. You posted pictures of the Mle 32 here :
viewtopic.php?f=70&t=111267&start=1710

It was identified by Guy François as "canon de 90 modèle 1932/C 1932 sur affût M.C.A modèle 1932 de 90".

3) The 90 mm Mle 1939 has big arms with pullies. It looks like a Mle 1932 with a lighter mobile carriage. See the thread about 9 cm Flak M39(f) here:

Hi Emmanuel,

After carefully studying the photos I have of these guns, I believe (although I am not 100% sure) that the main difference between the Mle 1932 and the Mle 1939 is that the latter has a mount of only 3 arms while the Mle 1932 has a cruciform mount of 4 arms.
Probably the Mle 1932 has the lateral shield and wooden wheels while the Mle 1939 have pneumatic wheels and not shield

Uummmhhhh... I don´t think. According to the webpage where I found the image, Venezuela bought 12 of these guns in 1936....
