I'm guessing it's a mortar on a Vietnam era gunboat.  IIRC they had a trigger fired mortar (vs the traditional drop the round to fire it)

That would be a BFG on a MFB.

Well, the second one looks like an LVTH6, so maybe the first is connected to the Philippines Marines Corps?

Found it, I think. First one is a Vietnam War LCM-6 River Monitor with 105 mm howitzer?
