Since it has been a while and nobody has taken any guesses at the identity of this piece, I'll take a stab at it.
To me it looks like a German 105mm recoilless rifle, but I haven't been able to match it precisely. It in one way or another resembles the 10.5cm Leichtgeschutz 40 L/13; the 10.5cm LG 42 L/17.5; or the 10.5cm LG 43. But as I say, none of those match your picture exactly.

Its a swedish 10,5 cm infkanon m/45.
Since you gave it a try, you can take the next question.

It's a Blohm und Voss BV 155, and AFAIK it's not an Allied or Neutral piece of equipment.

You are correct. More explicitly, it is I believe the BV 155V1. You may read about it here:

Yes. I shrank that picture down so that viewers would not have to side scroll to read the thread. May I say that I wish that practice were more common.
Your question, Davide.

Well, Juha:
A lot of ball sweat, but how about an EKW 3603, 160 examples made and served till 1947.
