Bofors 105 mm Field Gun L/46
In 1927 the Swedish Coast Artilleri bought four Field Guns 105 mm L/46 for use as mobile CA. These were known as M/27.
The same year the Netherlands ordered 36 pcs that entered NL service as M 30. Furter 16 were made by Artillerie Inrichtingen Hembrug in NL. The NL designation was 10 Veld M 30. 1934 Switzerland bought the license rights (and perhaps some guns) and started production in Waffenfabrik Thun. The Swiss guns were labeld M 35. In 1934 also Siam (Thailand) bought 4 guns delivered 1935. Hungary bought this type which was made by MAVAG as 31 M. 12 m/34 guns were exported to Finland 1939-40. In 1940 the Germans captured most of the NL guns which were used as 10,5 cm FK 334 (h) and 10,5 cm FK 335 (h). Obviously different numbers for Bofors and Hembrug made guns.

Polland used its 105mm Wz.29 model (Schneider M.25 L/31 made by licence from 1934).
Hungary bought Bofors 105mm long gun (31 M.) and 150 mm medium howitzer (also 31 M.). Both were made in Hungary by licence by MAWAG. http://www.dws.xip.pl/bron/wegry/we60.html http://www.dws.xip.pl/bron/wegry/we62.html These model were of modular type - there is one interesting piece in Belgrade museum - 31 M. 105mm carriage with 150mm gun. Finland: http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/ARTILLERY4.htm (Finland also bought four 150mm guns to be used on the same carriages - idea was to use 105mm or 150mm ordnance as situation arose.)

Hungary
Thank you for the info on Hungary.
The jaegerplatoon in Finland is however wrong. The Swedish Coast Artillery never had 64 such guns - only 8! Coast Arty got four M/27 and four M/34. The M/27:s were modernized to M/27-34. These 4+4 guns were transferred to the Army in 1942. The Army had 56 M/34 of which 4 were sold to Finland 1939. A new series of 8 M/34 B was delivered in 1942.

Gunmounts
Thank you Ivica. The gunmounts for Bofors 105 mm, 149 mm and 152 mm were interchangable.
