Unknown remnants of gun

[Yodamaster]

Hi all,
I'm here with an uncommon id. I would have the advice of gun specialist.
First the story of the gun :
1918, on the road of Mons, the gun was ready to placed to fire. Nobody known what happens, but the gun exploded. Was it a fire incident or a programmed destruction of the crew ?
All what we know is that the complete crew was killed in the explosion. True or fake ? Nobody know it.
It would be interesting for us to identify the type of gun.



First picture let see a marking 1918.

I had a look on Passion-Compassion and I found a very similar gun : the 15cm sFH 13. Am I correct ? That's my question

Is the breach partially open ? is the casing still in place ? It would seem that the breech would be jammed tight in the closed position
and it looks slightly open ? If there is no casing it might have been a placed charge -

I have personnaly no access to the pieces. You must know that this remnants were still in a field from 1918 to.......2002. They are now in security, waiting "restauration" (hard work, I think) ! ! !

Has many useful parts for another one, but could be cleaned up as is -- but at least it won't get worse if that is possible !
