The second picture refers to the mounting, so you still have to unearth the third plate stuck to the right hand front of the actual gun casing, starting ORD...
The PLAT ( platform ) plate in the first photo shows that it is a Mk11 model, not the original Swedish Mk1. This model, designed in England by Nuffield Mechanisation, used running gear off the Morris Commercial PU 8 cwt. truck. Hope the 9.00 - 13 tyres are in good nick!
These Mk11 models were produced in England, Canada and Australia, and many sub-contractors were involved.
According to the Terry Gander book, in Canada the main producer was the Dominion Bridge Company at Vancouver. In Australia the Government Ordnance Factory at Maribyrnong, Victoria with sub-contractors including the Ford Motor Co., H.V. McKay, Massey-Harris, and the Paton Brake Company amongst others.
Unfortunately none seem to fit the bill.....
Eagerly awaiting more on this Bofors
