I'm not 100% sure it's a 10,5 cm K331(f). True, the barrel matches but I cannot see the shield and the wheels to confirm. The soldiers look like Afrika Korps soldiers to me. In which case, the gun could be the Italian Ansaldo version 10,5 cm K338(i). :idea:

No problem, Dirk. :)

I was wondering myself if the armored shield protecting the 15,5 cm K420(f) guns of HKB Gatteville was indeed called "Gurtelpanzer". :?

Hi Emmanuel, this was also a Panzerung, in this case type 879P7 or FPzK 2351.

AvB what does the F & K mean in FPzK 2344?
