I suspect the following pictures show the same (or very similar) 15 cm or 6“ gun type

2.) “Captured (Italian) naval gun in Cervignano 12.11.1917“ https://digital.onb.ac.at/rep/osd/?112448EF

3.) “4 Stück weittragende 15cm Geschütze, Görz, Parkplatz. (Ende März. 1918.)“ https://digital.onb.ac.at/rep/osd/?112A9F15

4.) “Weittragende itl.Geschütze. Monfalcone, Anfang Mai 1918“. https://digital.onb.ac.at/rep/osd/?112AA2E5

5.) “Erbeutetes Geschütz bei Bicinicco 10.11.17“. https://digital.onb.ac.at/rep/osd/?10FA3EE9

6.) “Erobertes Geschütz bei Strassoldo.4.11.17“. https://onb.digital/result/10FA2C05

It's a 149.1 mm calibre Cannone da 149/35 A introduced in 1900 - basically a heavy field gun with a max range of 16.5 km but lacking a recoil system.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Hi Spaceman,

Yes, of course; - thank you for your reference. At first I assumed it was a British delivery and therefore a 6" naval gun on wheel mount.
