Hello,

I think it is a french 120 mm modèle 1878 de Bange Gun.
Some french 120 and 155 mm de Bange guns were given to Italy in 1916 and also in 1917-1918 after Caporetto disaster but it is perhaps a Tunisia french gun of "Ligne Mareth" if the photograph is dated december 1942 or 1943?
Yours sincerely,
Guy François.

Hi Sturm78 & fert, thank for your help. I believe the first one is a French Canon de 120mm L Mle 1878 / 1916 model (identified by the transverse transport ring). Best regards, David
