There were quite a few variations in the conversion to pneumatics between British and Australian workshops,limber conversions are a good example of this.

That woul be great,
It certaiunly seems something that ROF made up, I certainly have never seen another one like that. A lot of guns were converted prior to 1939, however the BEF had at least three styles of wheels. Strange though the ones fitted with the 24" wheels do not appear, they are either spoked variants or the those with the 20" wheels and wider tyres.
Re the limbers, I only have info on the WW1 and inter-war types. I think the inter war were converted from earlier types by having a "tracor towing attachment" fitted, they still retained the original spoked wheels.
