These will be hard to find, and probably won't be known until APG refinishes
the sole survivor. There may be some pictures in Zaloga's Concord book on
US SP artillery. The TM may have #2, I will check.

Do you mean the man-handled one? Again, see Zaloga. Also TM. I suspect it
was similar to that used on the "Long Tom".

nose. Is this correct?
Fuzed shells would not have this, shells newly arrived from a supply point
would not. A plausible rule-of-thumb (for modeling) is that all the shells
to be used in a given fire mission would be fuzed before starting.
