Albanian artillery WW1

I have a question regarding the use of Skoda guns in the Albanian gendarmerie in 1913/14.

Enclosed a picture of three pieces with Dutch officers leading the gendarmerie (Albanian ranks: capt Fabius and Lt Col Thomson, later KIA).

https://beeldbank.nimh.nl/foto-s/detail/6ad5e590-eb18-11df-a391-13966e870614/media/3ca68601-717e-d9ba-d87d-cf9661156c80?mode=detail&view=horizontal&q=thomson&rows=1&page=13&fq%5B%5D=search_s_mediatype:%22Foto%27s%22

Are these indeed Skoda's and if so, what models? These are not mentioned in Kosar. The guns are reminscent however to the 7,5 cm M11 R Gebirgskanone.

Other internet sources suggest in WW2 the Albaninas still had eight Skoda 7,5 cm L13s. so that maybe another clue.

What else did the Albanians have in WW1? I read Krupp M1906 7,5 cm L/27, former Italian?

Thanks,

Nuyt
