The Sextons were manufactured in Canada in WWII, and shipped to England. The design principles and a modest rundown of the operational history are on wikipedia <<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexton_(artillery)>>
The blanks between British disposal and the Portuguese are another matter. I had the impression, Canada gave the Porks the Sextons under a military aid program in the 1950's. We gave cords of No.4s to Italy as they were getting their army back up to strength. The French, Danes, Dutch and Norwegians all benifitted from such programs along the way. Portugal is an original NATO member, so it stands to reason they would have been helped too. Would the UK have had a similar program?
