Question on the US Model 1918
I was reading up on the various French guns from WWI,and in addition to this gun, the French developed the Canon de 155 L modèle 1918 Schneider.

Now here, in the US section, you mention that this gun, the French 1917 Schneider was also made as a copy in the US and adopted as the: (US) Model 1917 (Schneider).

Later, you say that the US also made a Model 1918, with a different gun shield. Now my question is this:

1) was the US Model 1918 just a copy of the French 1917 Schneider with a different gun shield, or 2) was the US Model 1918 a copy of the newly introduced French 1918 Schneider, which had different weight, range and other characteristics?

I note that there is no link back to the French 1918 Schneider, so I am guessing that the answer is number (1) above. If so, an extra word or two in the text would make this clear.

It might also be interesting, if the information is available, to know why the Americans did or did not adopt the later versions of the same gun, since, as Allies in the trenches, they would have had access to the entire range of French and Allied weapons for domestic production.

Thanks,
