For what it is worth, the manual for the American 57mm M1 Gun (6-pdr clone), lists the drag rope as being 15 feet with a hook on one end and two rings on the other.

Interestingly, the wheel rims on the carriages lack any form of tabs for fitting drag ropes to. Only the center drag washer ring.

Which could imply the ropes were identical to the British ones....... At least I can shorten mine if needed!
