I have a copy of Brassey's from 1980 that lists the then-current users of the 105mm M 18 and its variants;
Yugoslavia, Sweden, Austria, Argentina, Chile, Portugal, Czechoslovakia.
Most of those were "in reserve", meaning whatever that means in those places, but still... impressive.

The impressive thing about these guns is that they remained in use for training from the days of the Reichswehr to the end of the war. I’ve seen them used for training in Denmark in 1944 alongside 12.2cm sFH 396(r)s.
