The first two photos are from the Imperial War Museum. (NA 22470 and NA 22472) and are identified as being 155mm Long Tom guns belonging to the 33/61 Heavy Regiment RA at Vergato Italy on 22 Feb. 1945.
Note that the 7.2in Mk VI Howitzer, like the US 8in howitzer, has a shorter, fatter barrel than the 155mm gun.
