It's HKB 4./983 Tovik I assume?

I struggle a bit with matching the photo to the battery-location (it has been debated quite a lot in the norwegian forum, so I'm not gonna start again here... :wink: ).

Here's the closest match you get in Google Map/Street View (the battery is actually located ca 400m north of this position):

According to the Ebay photo caption these should be the H.K.B. 3./831 at Lavrion ( Greece )

Heeres-Küsten-Artillerie-Abteilung 831

Aufgestellt am 10. Februar 1941 in Freising mit drei Batterien aus der 9./Artillerie-Regiment 208. 1941 verlegte die Abteilung nach Griechenland, wo sie dem Kommandanten der Seeverteidigung von Attika unterstand und sich wie folgt gliederte:
1. Batterie auf Andros (6 x 15,5-cm)
2. Batterie auf Chios (6 x 15,5-cm)
3. Batterie in Lavrion (6 x 15,5-cm, 1 x 8,5-cm)
3 Scheinwerfer

Am 26. April 1944 auf fünf Batterien aufgestockt. Wurde im Januar 1945 zur I./Artillerie-Regiment 141.

Ersatztruppenteil war die Artillerie-Ersatz-Abteilung 43

Were there any French units equipped with this gun in Tunisia?
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41
