Out of curiosity, was there ever a towed derivative of the Cockerill 90mm gun ever studied/proposed?

I don't think the main Cockerill guns ever came in towed form.

However, the 90mm/46 KEnerga, sometimes marketed as the Cockerill Mk8, was offered as a towed gun in the late 80s/early 90s. KEnerga a confusing program, I believe initially developed by MECAR but later marketed in a collaboration with Cockerill. MECAR had previously sold a towed version of its 90mm/28 light gun as well.

Here is an ad for KEnerga that shows the towed version.

Thank you TomS.

It's been so difficult to find any info as to whether a towed variant was studied/considered!!

Thanks FWIW, the link I posted has exactly the same ad, except in English.
 
Their slogan is more catchy for a Belgian than for a Frenchman: In Belgium it would rhyme: bien avant dans les nonantes, whereas it France it would be clunkier: bien avant dans les quatre-vingt dix.
