A plaque says this is one of 18 guns transferred to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Field_Regiment,_Royal_Australian_Artillery" class="extiw" title="en:1st Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery">2/1st Australian Medium Artillery Regiment</a> in North Africa in December 1941. This gun has been 'spiked' by an explosive charge that entered the barrel from the top, just ahead of the pivot: Close examination of the picture will reveal a bulge at the top, and the cracked and bulged metal below the barrel.
