Default Staghound gun

Dear all,

The attached pictures shows a RCD B Squadron Staghound entering Dokkum, Netherlands at April 14th. And a RCD Staghound near Kollumerpomp, Netherlands. The gun calibre looks bigger than the standard 37 mm. version. It is not a 75 mm. howitser version. Does anybody know what version this is?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Edwin

That Staghound is armed with a 3-inch howitzer. Check here,
