Ah, right...if you are correct then you were spot on in your earlier post, it is indeed the QF 3.7" (94mm) AA gun, the British equivalent to the German 88mm but only used in the anti tank role in emergencies because of its heavier weight, longer setting up time and the fact the Matador vehicle pulling it could only operate on firm ground.
