Looks very much like the limber frame for a late model B.L. 15-pdr, such as the Mark IV. I think the date is about right for that weapon, too.

If so, it takes the No.35A type artillery wheel: double spoked (ie two offset lines at the hub flange), 14 each wheel. Flange is stamped from Mild Steel with bracing on both the inner and outer flange plates. Tyre was Mild Steel five inches wide by 5/8 inches thick. Total weight was said to be 197 pounds.

Have fun with the restoration!
