Does anyone recall this and can anyone confirm where it now resides?

Thats a very interesting picture Robin. First thing that caught my eye was the 50, its a replica, so i assume this pic was pre 1998 when laws changed for them. Then looking at its tracks, they are wrong, then looking at the main gun it was not right, overall I'd say this whole thing is a replica and not a real one? wood? fiberglass?

aha still looking at pic, sign in background has a mitchell and wilson homecare building centre, so now more looking like a wood project.

you have anything more other than the pic?

Andrew if you hover your cursor over the picture you will see it is labeled as a replica, that it is, wooden.

Made by a high school.

If you look under it you will see a jeep wheel

Replica Priest
 
It is actually a replica of a Priest and I believe it ended up in the care of the Communications Museum in Kingston.

Or, it ended up in the back yard of the Swords and Plowshares Museum with Gunner Mike. There is a wooden replica SP Gun under canvas in the rows of other interesting vehicles.

There you go, a post war guy asking about second war vehicles, its never going to be perfect.

Thanks for the info
