Hello
For the guns from Vickers i recomend the site linked below. It have quite a few photos, also of the gun mentioned plus some of the 8" guns sold to Russia.
Seems to be a slight difference in the weels of those.

Since all Finnish 8" were US made - and bigger part of Russian too (41 of 72) - my vote to American model.
This one, "British Army model", is the same I saw in Russian Artillery Encyclopedia:

This model ("Howitzer gun - customer Russia") I haven't seen so far (anywhere)

nice picture of the 20,3 cm s.H. 501 (e) 8 inch.
Note the 501(e) however does not have the front guide ring as indicated in the original photos (as does the 8" Vickers Mark VI)
Pls see scans
