Is in the front of Royal Palace ( today Piata Revolutiei).

The ( red briks) church in the background is "Biserica Kretulescu".

The main difference between the Soviet 85mm and 76mm AA guns is that the M1939 85mm has a gas compensator on its muzzle and sometimes a shield as well.

P.S: Unfortunately your posted image isn't visible for me
