Rob,
As Mentioned over on HMVF thanks for taking the time to photograph the gun,the pics are of great interest and you can see where the 6 pdr and 25 pdr aspects came into the design of the gun,I think there is a hint of 17 pdr also. You would think from the design it was possibly going to have some airborne use ! It would be interesting to find some more surviving examples . Thanks again  Rob......................rnixartillery.

Happy to oblige Rob. Yes, it can be seen where the trails fold over. Weather this was for airborne use or just to allow the gun to fit into the cargo box of a lorry would be the big question, although likely the weight would require a 3 ton to transport rather than a 15cwt so that theory could likely be discounted.
Amazing that out of 7 to 8 hundred guns only one would survive. There must be more out there somewhere.
