ID this Iraqi howitzer and AA gun

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

I have been thinking about modelling this gun, but I have no idea what it is.

A buddy and I towed this thing from the boneyard where the old Iraqi Army rebuilt their armor in Taji, Iraq. We put it on on corner of our company area and an AA gun on the other. I seem to remember it had Russian writing on the tires.

Does anyone know what kind of cannon and AA gun this is?

Now the AA gun

Not sure about the howitzer, but I’m relatively certain that the AA gun is Chinese.

The field gun appears to be an old British 18/25pdr from 1939/40.

I would agree with toadman, its on a variant carriage:

The AA gun would be a Czech vz.53 (30mm PLDvk). See the link

Awesome help, guys. I had been looking under Russian or Chinese equipment and could not find anything.

I should have guessed British with their past history in Iraq. In a warehouse on this base, I found a bunch of British WWII paratrooper helmets with a different liner installed. Look like they did the same thing with this cannon, installed a differernt shield on it.

I would have never guess Czech on the AA gun, but I do remember some cyrillic looking writing on it.

Thanks again and now I just have to find some kits to build these. And a fat soldier to model myself.
