How to Indentify the WW2 or Mk.I, Mk.I or Mk.III Bofors 40mm ?

[Kurtis Tsang]

Hi,

I am not sure if anyone had discuss this topice before. I found some discrepancies for the different Canadian Bofors in different museums.

The discrepancies are mainly for the platform, travellock, towing hook.
I am not sure if the "single platfrom" at the left side is post war version. Or all of them are WW2 versions, the different details are based on Mark I, II or III ??

Does anyone can help to indentify ? Thanks in advance.

Here are some example, single platform Bofors could be found from Primeportal website:

Brad's example is one piece platform and the towing hood is different.
