Falklands Trophy Gun?

Can anyone identify this gun please? It's one of two that were outside the old Royal Marines Museum at Eastney, Portsmouth (now closed). I think they were captured during the Falklands War and are probably anti-aircraft; but may have come back from the Gulf War. Depotman.

It is the HSS 830 AA Gun.
