Hi Jan;

Welcome to the forum. The 'artist's impression' is of a 2 pounder anti-tank gun mounted on a truck in the 'portee role', in North Africa.

The source of the two images below is:

Top: - my own collection

Bottom: - Imperial War Museum
Photo No.: E 3734E
Title: COMMONWEALTH FORCES IN NORTH AFRICA 1941
Collection No.: 4700-33
Description: New Zealand 2-pdr anti-tank gun mounted on a truck in the portee role, 3 December 1941.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
