The Vickers 6-ton tank (Chinese vehicle note 4) sometimes had a 47mm gun
fitted, and it might also have been called a 3 lbr., but it was a
shorter-barrelled and lower-velocity gun than the 3 lbr. used in the Vickers
Medium Mk. I and II.

I suppose Paul might have found a reference to either of these guns.  I'd
have to know more to be able to say anything definite.
