I think it might be a No. 27 limber axle but not the wheels.

I think the axle is upside down but I'm a bit confused, has the brake been repositioned? It is not a 25 pounder as they are tapered and don't have the box mounting arrangement the limber has.

The brake component's are from the No 27 limber ,looks like a bit of a mash up !

The wheels are from a 3 tonner or similar.

The handbrake lever on the lefthand side in the first photo appears to have been shortened at the top , been cut and rewelded about four inches down.
The wheels I have not seen before , have only a slight dish in them , doesn,t 25 pdr rims have 4 lugs on the outside of the rim?

Andrew,

The 25 pdr is on 9.00/16" Artillery wheels, with a ring and bead and yes it has the lugs .

Default Axle

Hi Andrew,
You have found a Limber/Trailer No. 27 hubs and axle.
Wheels are not 25pdr or Limber.
Good find.
