No that's a 2 pounder. Which is ridiculous as I have one and never saw that one. The poly was very opaque so I must have missed it. Ron

Well I've blown that number up and it actually reads 77ZT52 ?

Like Ron said, it's a 2-pdr AT gun in the back of an MW, which is masquerading as an MWG - read more about the Bedford MWG here
