Artillery sees light of day after 47 years

Would someone with restoration knowledge take a close look at pix #3 and #4, and tell me if there is anything that can be done to improve the metal surface that shows a kind of splotchy-ness? That must be from age and is probably some kind of corrosion, but it doesn't look deeply pitted, or rusty brown. I'm sure there is a name for it, but I'm ignorant of that. Enlighten me.
Thanks,
~John
