Several in US service recieved an upgrade with the 76mm gun. Since the gun is straight to the end, that tells me it's the original 75. -- Last edit: 2006-05-29 08:43:25

Apparently most of the remanufacturing to accomodate the 76mm gun was undertaken by Rock Island Arsenal and Bowen-McLaughlin-York Co between them.
