Default Polish Bofors Sights
Yes, you are right Woj!

The first guns bought by Great Britain and the Netherlands from Poland had "Polish sights" = Goerz.

Later deliveries from Sweden (and possibly also Poland) to Great Britain had open cross-wire "spider-web" sights.

So far I know that 16 guns intented for GB was delivered to Finland in 1940. The Finns (VTT state factory) made m/38 Bofors FC sights for those.

Attached a m/36 gun (Belgian, Polish and Swedish looked the same) = British Mk I.
