#1 Did the Romanian Vannatori di munte have any 75mm 1897 field guns?
# 2 Is it possible that some would have the 1930s era pneumatic tires that the french refurbished the old guns with? or would they only be the ww1 spoked wheel variety?
cheers!

1.Yes they have 75 mm 1897 field guns .
2.No .
Since the spring of 1943 after the failure of the Romanian Army in Stalingrad where he was little they could do against Soviet tanks in the absence of sufficient number of AT guns, anti-tank cannon was purchased PAK 97/38, 75 mm. It has anti companies from the 8 divisions located in the Crimea and the Caucasus, being a hybrid Franco-German cannon, cannon field achieved by mounting the French model 1897 (thousands of guns were also captured by the Germans during the campaign of 1939- 1940 in Poland and France) on the German antitank gun carriage, PAK-38. The Germans also made more than 3,700 pieces hybrid by the end of the war, they had better performance tank, which can pierce the armor of Soviet tanks T-34 and KV side at distances below 500 m.

No the Romanian Mountain Infantry did not use the 75mm Field Gun 1897, their artillery used a mix of the Skoda 75mm and 100mm Mountain howitzers 1915 and 1916 respectively.
