Check TGDs and Dunkels units. All guns are made, the same with tanks. I believe you muight have a problem with tankettes, but talk to me privately, we can do something about it

...only machine gun to use is the vickers by the British... One of those excellent designs that worked perfectly and was used by a lot of people for a long time. The Vickers water-cooled heavy machine gun was designed before the turn of the century if I recall correctly (and if I don't, I'm sure SJ will correct me.) It was exported by Vickers to a lot of nations, and was copied by a lot of nations, including the United States during the first part of WWII.

Squire James is right.
However, there were some Russian 76,2mm guns in service- few hundreds were captured from Red Army during 1919-1921 war.
Dunkel made 75mm Shneider gun TGD made 155mm Shneider gun. First gun was used by regiments, 2nd one was used as heavy artillery for divisional support.
No Russian equipment, except 02/26 76,2mm gun (later it was modified for 75mm caliber) was used by Poles.
If Poles were using abroad armament, it was mainly French (guns) from the period of Polish army from WWI, later it was Browning, BAR or Bofors guns and machineguns and at the end- there were completely new, good quality, modern Polish equipment, but there were too few numbers of them in 1939, or those were only prototypes.

Indeed, that's the one Those guns were standard artillery for cavalry regiments, while infantry and motorised units got 75mm Shneider gun (and it's modified versions)
