Finnish artillery firing.

Identified as Winter War. I am curious about the gun. It looks to me like a WW1-vintage Russian/Soviet 152 K/04 200p siege gun (there were a number of variants of the Russian K/04, but the carriage, in particular, is reminiscent of the "200"). A small number of these guns was captured by the Finns in 1918, and some use was made of them in the Winter War; although I had thought that this was mainly in a coastal defefnce context. Any comment from our Finnish friends ? Best regards, JR.
