Australian made Bofors guns
O.K. I got it confirmed.
Bofors guns were made by Ordnance Factory Maribyrnong. In Australian War Memorial (AWM) there is a photo dated 12 Oct 1942 showing a Bofors gun beeing assembled. The carriage is marked "13" which seems to be the factorys internal working number.
Another photo show an Australian-made Bofors on display in Melbourne 14 Apr 1943 for rizing funds for 3rd Liberty Loan.
AWM photos nr 127871 - 127875 show a 3-ton 40 mm Bofors SP (Australian) gun. But which type of truck?
