Actually a 76.2mm gun, in a turret off a UK "Saladin" Armoured Car.
Called an FSV (Fire Support Vehicle). The later versions had the turret
off a Scorpion light tank instead.
Note: these versions are NOT amphibious. As has been demonstrated by
experiment. Despite this, they have a lot of floatation gear around
them, which has been proved to be useful vs shaped charges.
