The one advertised as a French cannon, has a different recoil eye, and the carriage is nowt like your bits, or the one in the park.

I did say that the French cannon picture was to get a better idea of what it looked like, not that it was exactly the same. The French one has square axle blocks and scallop cut-outs on the underside between the axles similar to the Coppice remnant. It also has stepped tops to the sides which can be clearly seen on the postcard of the Coppice cannon though this feature is no longer visible on the remnant.
