Both are size 0 and have 2 MP's circa 6/1940.

Makes a difficult choice which way to go
Having tried both, I am more impresed by the 10.5 cm version - much more OOM-PAH! on the HE and HEAT departments. The AP rounds on the 7.5 cm version just didn't feel like providing much added value.

Of course those really into historical accuracy might want to check the production numbers to decide which version would have been a more common sight in your average FJg battalion.
