Yep, that does it nicely: the barrel assembly consisting of the jacket (the bit with the interupted thread and screw holes for the counterweight), and the barrel itself with the flanged end inside the jacket.

I gather from his description that Rob found just the 2 x barrels, without the outer jackets.

Yep, that is exactly the chamber end of the barrel on these two. They were laying on the ground in the dustbowl along with a bofors barrel. They have now been moved to the paved compound, and I'll get some grease onto them.

I found a barrel jacket a few years back along the lines of what the 25 pdr has, except smaller. It always puzzled me what it was for. I'll post photos when I get back to that yard again.
