Jos,

Yes, it is the Model 1940 with its heavy static mount. I think I can also read "CM.40" on the side.

Hi all,

I found this image on ATF40 forum http://atf40.forumculture.net/

It seems an 25mm Mle 1939 but I think there are some differences in the carriage. A prototype, perhaps....

It looks like a 2,5 cm Flak 38 (seat on the side and tripod mounting).

Yes, I knew that they were three 25mm Hotchkiss Mle 1940 guns. The rare is his emplacement....This trailer seems a very few stable site...

I don't think they are intended to be fired from the trailer. They would get in the way of each other. Could the trailer be an airfield one and the guns are going to be distributed around the airfield, or another location.

... or ready to be removed from an airfield during the June retreat.

A lot of possibilities indeed but I agree with Clive that the guns were not intended to fire from the same trailer.
