Early war gun tractors

Thanks for clarifying these limber types. I have been puzzling over these for a while. I would appreciate your help with one further point: Alan Turner, who was doing some work on photos at Firepower, sent me a picture of an 18 pdr limber with a Martin Parry conversion but the caption is that it is a MkVIIB (as in the attached picture). Is that an earlier name before it was classified as a 'Type 29'?

It is also worth mentioning that if anyone wants to see a 4.5 inch howitzer with Martin Parry conversion up close, there is one in excellent condition in the Muckleburgh collection in Norfolk (as in the second picture).
