Summer and Fall 1940 was a pretty grim time on the British Isles. The BEF had withdrawn from the Continent in very sorry condition. They left most of their heavy equipment behind, and were fearfully anticipating a German invasion. We now know it was OPERATION SEA LION. It was a sure sign of Lend Lease and shared interests that the US shipped obsolete 75s to the UK.

In my simple opinion, you could safely imitate the same markings as a British or Canadian 25Pdr, and parade safely knowing few people would spot any inaccuracies.
