I found this:


Ammunition:

The 95 mm howitzer uses fixed ammunition with a 25 lb projectile, while the 25-pounder uses a separate charge and round.

Design:

The 95 mm howitzer was built from parts of the QF 3.7-inch anti-aircraft gun barrel, the Ordnance QF 25-pounder field gun/howitzer, and the Ordnance QF 6 pounder anti-tank gun.

Use:

The 95 mm howitzer was used to arm tanks, while the 25-pounder was used by field regiments.

The bishop will not be BR3 its just too bad for that.
You have a big relatively weak armored casemate, with limited aming angles. And no MG.
BR2 is more likely.
