Hi Jos, Barovic and Bart
In Overloon (Netherlands) there is one nice example left, here some pictures of it.
It is part of the collection of mister De Groot, he has the finest private collection of allied vehicles from WO II.
Greetings Jack.

Re: 4.7 cm PaK 185 (b)
Hello,
here are 2 more pictures of this gun, also coming from e-bay.de. According to the caption, the first picture was taken close to the Eben-Emael fort, although this fort had no installations for mobile versions of the Belgian 47 mm AT-gun.
As one can see on the second picture (and even more clearly on the one from Jos), when the gun was put in firing position (uplifted), two metal bars were put forward before the gun. In travelling position, as on the first picture, the bars were attached to the trail legs of the gun, under the seat. I have no idea why, to give the gun a greater stability?
Anyway, for a nice general introduction on Belgian AT-guns (mobile or in fortresses), a small book was published earlier this year by F. Vernier: 'Les Canons Antichars dans la Fortification Belge', 63 p., available at De Krijger (http://www.dekrijger.com).
Greetings,
Barovic
