I can see similarities with the Swiss 7,5 cm Gebirgskanone 1906:

I believe they are one an the same, here's a page from Franza Kosar's"A Pocket History of rtillery: Light Field Guns" (IAn Allan, london, 1974) I sent him a clearer version of this photo (which I have since lost) and that was his verdict...

Paraguay purchased 2 batteries (8 guns) of these Krupp 75mm L.14 mod. 1907. They were used during the Revolutions (read Uprising) of 1911 and the Civil War of 1922, when one of them was lost under unknown circumstances. The surviving 7 guns served with the 2nd. Artillery Group during the Chaco War, and in 1937 these guns,some army surplus equipment and other war trophies were sold to the "Republican" faction during the Spanish Civil War.
