That's a MSTA SPA modified to fit two howitzers. You are right about breakdowns, but supposedly it has automatic reloaders of some kind, which I am not sure what autoloader it has, however, as for counter-battery, I think there is a reason for the twin barrels as it increases rate of fire, so it can fire a higher volume of shells in shorter period of time in a shoot, and scoot manuveurs.
I would be more impressed if the canons could traverse independently from each other. That would be a lot more impressive, then just glueing two canons together. They both appear to be fixed to a single traverse turret. No separate horizontal, or vertical targeting. This would allow more firepower being spread out in a area, than just delivering on a single target.
