Default LRDG Portee

Hi,
Does anyone have any pictures or info about the LRDG 25 pdr Portee?
If not are there any pictures of other interesting heavy artillery portee (not 2pdr or 6 pdr ones are there are plenty of pictures of those around). Was the 17pdr ever carried portee, I have heard of them carried on Amtracs but never seen a picture?
Cheers,
Paul

Default 17-pdr

Interestingly we know that 17-pounders were towed behind rebuilt 2-pdr Portee Chevrolets.
