 :hello: mike962

I rechecked the caps but unfortunately there isn't anything more shown, it's the only view available. Anyway it's an archive footage of the Gulf War, don't know if this info could be helpful (this seems to be the Iraqi army, one frame earlier there was Saddam Hussein shown)

 for producer seems Mécanique Creusot-Loire.

Design
The Mk F3 is essentially a modified AMX-13 light tank chassis with the rear idler removed and the hull modified to accept a 155 mm cannon and its recoil, elevating and traversing mechanisms, including two rear spades which reversed into the ground to give added stability when firing. The 155 mm gun was designed by the Atelier de Construction de Tarbes (ATS), and the chassis by the Atelier de Construction Roanne (ARE). Integration of the gun with the chassis and all firing trials were undertaken by the Etablissement d'Etudes et de Fabrications d'Armement de Bourges (EFAB). Because the ARE was tooling up for production of the AMX-30 main battle tank, production of the whole AMX-13 tank family, including the F3 155 mm self-propelled gun, was transferred to Mécanique Creusot-Loire.

 That looks to be Morocco in the main pic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_F3_155mm
Quote Total production of the Mk F3 amounted to over 600 guns. Beginning in 1993, Mécanique Creusot-Loire became Giat Industries, and in 2006 was renamed Nexter. In 1997 France supplied the last 10 155 mm Mk F3 systems to Morocco.
