My information didnt mention were the guns were used ,but only that the purchaser by DWM/BKIW "seem to have been" the Airforce, according to the archives of manufacturer.

Could be that the Department which purchased "officially" was the Air Force ? Because it was in charge to care for transport to East Indies ? ( at least for the 1st delivery ? )
