I posted these on the HMVF forum a few hours ago, so it's still early.
The first batch of photos is of some kind of pack howitzer. The trails come off with a quick pull pin, and the trails would appear to come apart om the middle. I found a detachable spade sitting nearby which would seem to fit the trail. The hubs are missing but also appear to be a quick detach type. The 25 pdr carriage sled nearby is unrelated to this gun.

Rob,
Could it be a 17 pdr. Anti-Tank gun trail? That would also explain the 25 pdr. recuperator, which was also used by the 17 pdr.

Nope, there was a 17 pounder just a few feet away and it was way bigger.
I think I spotted a similar British caisson at the nearby museum. It was not one that could be taken apart like this one, but the forks for the cradle were very similar.

Perhaps
Not sure if I am way off beam here, but the cradle looks to be very similar to the 18/25pdr.
Could this have been a split trail version ???? I know some were issued outside of the UK. The trail end looks the same, but the saddle appears to be different, 'though it does have the same elevating gear gousing on the side. pretty much a wild stab in the dark. George.

Whoops
Sorry guys, just re-read the post, and you did say the "sled" was not part of the gun, but a seperate item.
