I think it might be a No. 27 limber axle but not the wheels.

I think the axle is upside down but I'm a bit confused, has the brake been repositioned? It is not a 25 pounder as they are tapered and don't have the box mounting arrangement the limber has.

The brake component's are from the No 27 limber ,looks like a bit of a mash up !
