It looks like someone has adapted a 40mm bofors onto a 25 pdr chassis. Never saw referance to that before. The barrel and breech ring look like normal bofors, but there is a bit more forward of the breech ring where the recuperator spring should be. Perhaps this set up was to make use of the 25 pdrs recuperator system?
Could it be someones attempt to use the bofors in an antitank role? Or just a bunch of spare parts thrown together to make a parlkguardian?
(I saw on TV the other day where you can do this kind of thing to crabapple trees and get two different kinds of apples from the same tree. )
