Is the Handbook the 1941 version published by the War Office on 13/ 8/ 41? That handbook covers all versions in British Army service, whether bought from Sweden ( or Poland or Hungary ) or produced in Great Britain.
Yes, that's the manual I have, but it also has some loose leaf and pasted in Aust amendments.

The Bofors Course and Speed Sight was only fitted to the Guns ordered from Bofors.
The Guns produced in Great Britain, and later in the Commonwealth Countries, used Forward Area Sights when operating at direct laying, and the Kerrison Predictor when operating at indirect laying.
Ah! That would explain the lack of C+S sights on Aussie guns. I have seen many with Stiffkey sights and even a predictor unit.
