Hi Jos,
Not sure at all. At first I thought it a 3,7 cm Pak with a taper tube but to my eyes it seems to have the recoil slide attached to the barrel with two brackets like with 4,2 cm Pak 41.

Peeved,
Some 3,7 cm Pak guns also had the barrel attached with two brackets. So, the riveted plate mentioned by Jos seems to be a better way to differentiate the 4,2cm from the 3,7 cm.

Stan.
Any idea which unit this gun was issued to?
They were few and far between in 1942, in North Africa.

Re: 4.2 cm le.PaK 41
I don't know exactly.
From June 1941 (other sources November 1941) to May 1942 Billerrer & Kuntz factory in Aschersleben produced 313 pieces [other sources (e.g. Lexikon-der-Wehrmach) - 317] of 4,2 cm PaK41 (to the end of 1941 only 37 pieces were built).
Of all 313 pieces, 25 of them were sent to Waffen-SS, 115 were sent to Luftwaffe (to Fallschirm-Waffe), the remaining 173 sent to Heers and used in eastern front and North Africa.
4,2 cm PaK41 were decommissioned in the mid-1944, but in March 1945 it was still 17 pieces in stock army.
I'dont exactly maybe In North Africa 4,2 cm PaK41 can be supplied with Panzerjäger-Abteilung 39 ?.

The only ones I have ever seen any refererences to are...
8 in FalschrimJaeger "Lehr" Bn, in early 1942. And. 3 in 13th "Lehr" Bn Brandenburgers in the Summer of '42.

Re: 4.2 cm le.PaK 41
It looks more like a Soviet 76.2mm Pak 36(r) to me, the trails are square to my eye and the barrel is far too long for the German gun and the shield is too tall. The man could very well be standing on something behind the gun and so making the gun look smaller.

I'm glad that it was not just me who had doubts over the most recent photo in this thread!
