Default 3.7 cm Bofors - more info

There is a full page on these guns in WW2 FACT FILES - Anti-Tank Weapons by Peter Chamberlain and Terry Gander (black softcover, letter sized, 1/4" thick)

Two photos in it show Commonwealth/British troops with these guns. One in Western Desert mounted on a British 15 Cwt. another one being hand towed (a short distance presumably). Another photo shows one in Polish service.

Book says "Official designation was "Ordnance Q.F. 37 mm Mk. 1 on Carriage 37 mm Mk. I*. In 1940 a batch of guns intended for the Sudan was appropriated for use by the 7th Armoured Division in North Africa, and some were used in UK as training weapons." (Ibid p. 36)

By the way, the picture above showing one mounting in an "F30" is incorrect. F30 was a CMP and the vehicle shown is a MCP (Modified Conventional Pattern).
