I think so. The Austrian firm of Böhler made 47mm anti-tank/light field guns in the 1930s. These were sold to several countries. The interesting point is that the case length varies: I have an Italian one which measures 195mm and a Dutch one which is 228mm. I think there is another one measuring 235mm.

Does anyone have a complete list of Böhler users and the case lengths in each instance?

Dutch: 227 mm (brass)
Italian: 195 mm (brass and steel) and 235 mm (brass) (I have never seen the long one, but it exists)
Austrian: 235 mm (brass) (also German made steel case)
Romanian: ?

Thanks - do you know if the different case lengths made any difference to the projectile weight or muzzle velocity?

Tony, I am a shell case collector and therefore I cannot answer your question.
