Can anyone confirm which guns this unit was armed with in late 1942?

I have them provisionally on 18/25Pdrs. But it seems to be a bit late for that. Most units have been upgraded to 25Pdrs by then.

RA records have them coming under GHQ comd in Egypt on 1 Oct 42. Prior to this they were in UK. I can't imagine a regt being sent overseas with anything other than 25-pr Mk 2 on Carriage 25-pr Mk 1 at that time. The arrival date is the same as 53 Fd Regt who were at Alamein with 24 x 25-pr.
