It's a Marinefährprahm or MFP for short. the Kriegsmarines main landing craft type.

F238 served with the 9 Landungsflottille in North Norway. What's in the other photos?

It's a 20mm Oerlikon

many thanks-found lots of information on the web now-quite a well used gun by all accounts

That's an understatement, it along with the 40mm Bofors must be the most used and longest lived AA gun in history and is still in widespread use throughout the world.
