It's a KRUPP SCHUMAN 57 mm armoured gun model 1894.
It had a range of 6000 meters and was used by Central Powers in WWI.
One of these( maybe it's the one in this picture) was captured By Greek Army from Bulgarians in 1918 and currently is displayed in Athens War Museum

That's correct

Also known as fahrbare Panzerlafette or Fahrpanzer Gruson...

Here is the link about it http://www.aviarmor.net/interest/article/art_gruson_53mm.htm (it's in Russian, but you can translate the page)

One on the picture is a 57mm variant that was exported (among the other) to Bulgaria...
