Thanks for intresting
you have a better information about delivery 37mm and 40mm guns from Sweden. I found another intresting informations abuot this gun. Polish buy in Sweden a license for both guns and made in factories. Polish production guns 37mm and 40mm was in prewar time sell to UK and 37mm to Romania. Polish Carpathian Brigade during fights in Tobruk in 1941 recive from british hands a polish made 37mm bofors guns what were buy in poland by British in prewar times.

The 2pdr gun has lower performance as it should, it isn't Bofors 40mm but Vickers 40mm pom-pom using less powerful ammunition.

I understud
I prewar polish army this gun 40mm Vickers was used only on ships and river monitors. Wasn't in land forces corect label should be 40mm Vickers or something because we don't use pounds for caliber of guns only metric units. But in post september campaign forces in England polish soliders use 40mm Bofors british version in OOB is a bug because they has this old vickers guns as a standalone and on trucks
