Yup, taking advice my expert says:
"Could be the 15cm sFH 18 as mentioned or the sFH 36, which for what little you can actually see of it, is identical. Note; Rubber tyred rims show it to be motor towed as opposed to horse drawn, which would then have steel only rims. Of course no known horse drawn vehicles in the desert!!!!
Rheinmetall-Borsig AG were the prime comtractor, but only one of several manufacturers, many other companies also made these guns during WWII and SKODA also made the sFH 18 post-war."
