Very nice image.

20 pounder (Tank) Type A barrels had a counterbalance at the muzzle, while Type B barrels (introduced about 1956) had a fume extractor and a 'muzzle swelling'. Balancing the Type B barrel involved welding weights to the topside of the fume extractor.

There was also a Type C barrel.

All three were interchangeable, but fitting a Type B barrel also involved changes to the depression stop rail around the rear deck, and to the barrel travelling clamp.
