Mike,
Internet access is a bit tricky where I am and I am sat in a Mc donalds at the moment.
I have been researching the 17/25 pdr for quite a while now and have a good archive of pictures including many unseen or publicised so I don't post pictures unless they are already on the net such as the pictures you posted.
With the Australian variant being trialled so late on in the war after the temporary British conversions had been dismantled could this be an attempt to create a lightweight 17pdr baring in mind it has a welded carriage it is quite plausible.
Just visited the Suffolk regiment memorial at coleville Montgomery.
