Hi I think that Gun H is a Japanese 1935,75MM Model 95 Field Gun and Gun I is a Japanese 1941 47MM Anti-Tank Gun Model 1 Gun K is a U.S. 1905, # inch Light Field Gun it has the wrong wheels on it ! I had one years ago , A Dentist how has it and the Limber in his Living Room ! The 1905 had 2 seats in the front of the Shield and each seat base held 2 ready rounds , Great Gun !
