A stab in the dark, would be towed artillery.

Supporting that belief, you can read Travelling Front on the canvas below the reflector.

I don't quite understand why there would be a reflector at the Travelling Front though.
Would that not be a waste of time, unless used to reverse a vehicle for hitching !?!

Looks like two more lines of print under that as well, Tony.

Sylvain,

That may well be possible, the two "ears" on your canvas would cover the sights on both sides of the breech.

HTH,
Hanno
