In the British 11th Armd Div the AoS Serials for the two Fd Regts were:
'74' - 151st Field Regiment (Ayrshire Yeomanry)(TA), RA - towed 25pdrs
'76' - 13th Regiment (Honourable Artillery Company), RHA - Sextons

On all the lists that I’ve seen the 13th is the first field regimented listed, pointing towards it being the towed regiment and not the SP regiment.

Something to keep in mind is that most of these lists are in numeric order which in most cases are not in the order of the assigned AoS Serials for the Division (in this case) in question.

On the photos of the Sexton with the number 43, was there a white bar under the number? If so then it would be an Army Field Regiment. The British 86th Army Field Regiment had Sextons and landed on D-Day in support of the British 50th Division, but I don’t know its AoS number.

The AoS Serial for the 86th Army Field Regiment (SP), RA was '1147', with white bar below and the Formation Sign used was that of the British Second Army.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
