Looks like a Soviet 122mm M1931/A-19 or one of its variants.

EDIT: Ah, first couple of pictures. Need to scroll up more.

EDIT 2: I believe that might be a British QF 3.7" AA gun.

Ah...yes...of course...

I was just testing you...

If your referring to the 5th and 6th pictures in #37 that is a SF11 18 150mm howitzer.

I think he refers to the 1st and 2nd pictures from #42.

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.

These are pictures from a hut that was intended to resemble the inside of a U-boat during a depth charge attack.

The eye to detail was quite poor IMHO but the soundtrack was quite remarkable/authentic.
