In a pinch you could use the wheels off any 15cwt CMP, but they won't have the little brackets on the sides for the drag ropes.

There was a set of rims on an unrestored 25 pdr airborne caisson here in Shilo. There was no gun or recoil on it as I recall. I cannibalised it for parts about 8 years back (park brake linkages mostly).

Also it seems to me Gordon Falk out in Steinbach might have one/some on a 15cwt that is in his collection. He is a member of this board if you want to send him a PM.
