Nuyt, yep, I was typing up my message while you posted yours.

I know, but wouldn't you agree the "37mm, AT, w/limbers" were probably those National Forge & Ordnance Co. guns? Possibly they made an accounting error: while the listing for the item says 6, the total of 58 37-mm guns could indicate actually 8 were delivered, corresponding to those 8 guns plus limbers captured by the Japanese as Stellan noted.

As for the M-H's guns, please read Heesakkers stories in Twenot's De Tank. There is an interesting account of these automatic guns.

Will do and get back to you on it.
