depends.

the EARLY 17 pounder was mounted on modifyed 25 pounder carages with work done on the gunshield and mount for the bigger gun to fit. but this was only on a few guns from what i understand. but the mount was unstable and was hard as hell to tow. most 17 pounders were distroyed in trafic accidents and not enemy action. the real 17 pounder mount was a split trail system built for the gun and looked closer to the 6 pounder than the 25. there are 4 or 5 of the guns scattered around arnherm.
