What are these?

In the org editor for West Front, Germany, June, 1944 there appear three batterys of guns which don't seem to jive.
LeFH 105mm 302(f)
SFH 155mm 312(f)
LeFH 120mm 321(f)
I cannot find info on any of these, and besides that, the numbering doesn't match up to what the Germans would have used.
I'd advise deleting these three from the platoon files and saving some slots.

Was there anything in the unittext on them? There may be an explanation in there. I didn't tackle the West Front units, that was done by von Neimack some time ago.

no, nothing in the unit texts.
Here is what seems to be a pretty comprehensive list of all captured artillery pieces and their German designations:

I did notice these 3 types of French artillery guns were listed under East Front German artillery... if that helps?

Maybe there is some typo in the numbering.
LeFH 105mm 302(f) could be 10.5cm leFH 322(f) 10.5cm leichte Feldhaubitze 322(f)
But the other two are unexplainable to me.

PS:
If I find "errors" in the org editor am I supposed to report them Sir? [X(]

What's odd is that none of those numbers appear in the comprehensive list I linked above.....
I wonder if they're some kind of catch-all designation? Say the Germans capture some French gun and all they know is it's 155mm, so it's designated 312(f).
But I've googled dozens of these oddball captured pieces of equipment, and always find some obscure link or two about that one particular piece....but for these three, absolutely nothing....
We got a mystery here Scoob....[:D]
