According to
http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/ARTILLERY3.htm more modern AP-T was introduced in 11/43 (along with HEAT), but APHE rounds were introduced in 3/42 (French mle 1910) and I believe, that APHE should be added as a standard AP shot. I have no data as for armour penetration, but it must have been at least 70 mm (mle 1910 was a steel solid shot, with little explosive).
Therefore, there could be created the second entry of unit 77 75mm K 17 FG, with some AP ammo since 3/42 - and the third entry with some HEAT, since 11/43.

Weapon 036 76mm K 02 FG: Real max range 10,600 meters, so Weapon Range 201. AP Pen 10 with Finnish AP-T (available since Dec 1942). Max. range with pre-WW2 ammunition only 7,900 meters (158) (i.e. off-map artillery units with this gun should not be available before 1939 or so).

Russian sources for WW1 artillery credit it with range 8.5km. Anyway, I think, that we should keep it with range 200, because otherwise the Finns will remain without off-map light arty before the war...
Since 1940 a range 200, or even 201 will be justified, also by capturing of modernized 76mm K/02-30 (range 10.6km = 201)

Weapon 230 105mm H 33 FG: (10,5 cm leFH 18) max. range 202 in German OOB. Finnish sources say 11,300 meters, but such small differences are common with artillery pieces. HEAT penetration 10 (as German OOB). HEAT available since May 1944.

Since they had muzzle brakes, they had to be leFH-18M model, with range increased to 12.3km (the German one represents also a basic model, with range 10.6km).
