Looking at cannons while my wife is shopping. I am guessing our cannon people will know this quickly. So what is it?

Its a Robert Parker Parrott West Point Foundry Parrott
 
The American M1916 75MM Gun which was based on the French Model 1897 Field Gun.
 
Here is one I found in a guys yard on a back road in Enterprise Miss a few year back. It had Christmas light on it. It came from the VFW and his widow wouldn't sell and now I glad she didn't. It was a French 155.

This is one I seen recently, is it easier? They were working on this cannon. For a hint, What is that in the background?

Without see the rest of the photo its either a British Mark V, French or early US tank but since we lagged behind with early tank production no telling.
 
The tank is British, so the cannon should be a easy guess. So is there a tank reassembly video on line?
 
Not CW so I really can't say. We need to keep the Weapons & Ammo forum to the CW pieces.
