Dear Gallipoli1915,
I have already sent you a pm, but let me express my gratitude here as well: thank you for your pictures of the Kabatepe guns and your visit to Canakkale Fortress!
The Kabatepe field guns I reckon - but awaiting further info from the exhibotion at the Fortress - seem to be a 1939 rebuild of the old Turkish Krupp 75mm, but with longer barrel (supplied by Rheinmetall?) and a new and unique carriage (Turkish?). Also note the what appear to be counterweights below the breechblock.
We have no measurements but I bet the guns were 75mm Long 35.
Tosun, your 37mm anti-tank gun is of a later date: these were supplied during WW2, by the end of it.
Kind regards,
Nuyt

I have updated the Turkish/Ottoman artillery inventory with some finds from here:

Ottoman heavy artillery piece
Hi Folks
I have asked this on the Great War Forum a couple of years ago. Blown up photo of a heavy howitzer in southern Jordan.
Answers were either a Austro-Hungarian 15cm Feldhaubitze M14 or 120mm Krupp Howitzer M1905.
Anybody any comments (sorry about poor quality of photo.)?
Cheers
Dominic

Dear Nuyt,
During WW1 and Turkish War of Liberation the army used many artillary guns called in turkish military literature "Mantelli Top" a gun with mantel. They could only fire 3 shells in a minute or in crise time 4. Mantelli guns were used during Gallipoli and Palatiana& Syria front.
Do you have any photos?

Dear Tosun, I think they mean old mid 19th century muzzleloaders, shell guns like the Dahlgren or Krupp that are extra strong around the chamber area, they have "fat asses" so to speak (in this case most likely Krupp as the Turkish is derived from Mantelkanone). I will look for a picture.
Some were already known in inches others in pounds. If you know any caliber or weight designations, we can look better for a Krupp Mantelkanone picture....
Cheers,
Nuyt

Dear Tosun,
I must admit I am not a specialist in 19th century weapons and therefore I am not sure if some of the following guns, especially the last three fat ones, could be called Mantelkanone - but they might very well be!
Note the loading apparatuses on two of the guns - for sure it would take a lot of time to load these babies, especially if muzzle loaded!
