Both are ex-Soviet i.e. war booty.
SA 113155 is (in Finnish use) "50 Krh/I ss.ven"; after the war 46 pcs were sold to Interarmco.
SA 113154 is (in Finnish use) "50 Krh/II ss.ven"; remaining 5 pcs were scrapped in 1948.
The info comes from Markku Palokangas, the former custodian of the Finnish Military Museum.

Any idea on the function of the wooden frame for the 5 cm mortar ??

Some sort of direct fire experiment? The angle of elevation appears much lower than the usual minimum of 42 deg or so.
