The list is much longer , this is only the last part. I have some questions about two guns
the "20.3 cm Mrs. 523/1 (a) and the 22 cm K. 532 (f) auf Spreizlaf." these guns are new for me ??
For the 20,3cm Mrs 523/1 and 523/2(a) = 203 mm howitzer 8 inch Field Howitzer M17, USA a
W.W. 1 gun . ( Pages = NARA )

Separately, I think that the 22 cm K532(f) auf Halbkettenlaf. would be the single prototype with pictures in the following thread "French heavy SP gun":

Hi Jos

The American 8 inch Howitzer M1917 was the same gun as the British 8 inch Howitzer built to US engineering standards. I know the British built guns were sold to the Russians during WW1, did they acquire any American built ones as well? The Dutch and the Belgian armies had British guns post WW1, again were any of these US built.

As far as I know some US 8 inch Howitzers were delivered to the British post 1941 but they were converted to 7.2 inch gun/howitzers.
