Hi Adrian, you could be right there. The wheels are much bigger than those on my 6 Pdr. Don't know how I overlooked that. The absence of a muzzle brake does not make it a 57mm perse. In the original 1942 6 Pdr manual that I got through Rob Nixon the pictures show a gun without muzzle brake. I can't remember from where on the web I got this picture and I didn't copy the caption.

Cheers,
