I'd say an M7 Priest in British or Canadian service
don't know what the commonwealth designation is though.

The Bishop was something else, which I forget.  The Brits used ecclesiastical names for all their SP arty, so there was a Sexton as well, which IIRC used a Valentine hull.

M7 Priest

The Bishop was on a Valentine chassis and the Sexton was a 25 pounder on an M7 chassis IIRC.
