You also have to factor in the human fit and ergonomics, I think there is a bit more to making the machine fit the man (or man fits machine) then turning the 17 pdr gun by 90°, there is a stowage reconfiguration and no doubt the breech lever is different.

Hi James,
I'm sure it was not as simple as just the distance between breech ring and turret ring, but I have to start somewhere in getting to a better idea than just wiked-pedias blanket 'internal space considerations' and I don't have access to any of the original development reports. Mike
