hello
not found an inventory to precise which type, but the 75 mountain 1919-1928 was not the only type of 75 arming both 4e and 5e Régiment d'Artillerie Coloniale (RAC) of Indochina, in 1939-1945 there were still field 75 mm modle 1897 horsed or tracted batteries and even Trench 75 mm as older 65 and 80 mm mountain or more recent 105 mountain and the rest of the collection of Coast and AAA guns from both RAC
first picture is a 75 mm mountain
