Wow,  that's something else.

Seems like it's mounted on a truck or trailer if you look at the back  :-\

Triple Polsten on a Ford F60L truck. Canadian.

Would look really excellent in 10mm, I'm thinking!

How about 4 Polsten cannon with a bit of armour wrapped around them?

Pretty! Pretty like a pretty thing. Nobby likes pretty things. Likes them in small. Keeps them he does.

More likely a M1917 Shed, as these were actually bought by Canada.

Ah, a Canadian shed rather than a French shed; that makes more sense! :-\
