Besides, it wasn't a field gun, but a siege one, without HE ammo, but AP. And the photo shows something else.
I've found info, that 14 were captured. But as I've said, they were siege artillery, very bulky, and HE ammo wasn't produced in Poland. Reportedly also some were captured in Yugoslavia, with different designation. More numerous was Czech heaviest artillery.
