A few questions came to mind last night after having just seen
FRONTLINE last night on PBS.  It discussed Dr. Gerald Bull's
carrier with artillery up to his eventual murder by the Israeli
government.  Like most TV shows these days there was very little
technical detail provided(though more than most) and I was hoping
that some one out there could provide them.

Dr. Bull made modifications to the 155mm and 210mm(??) guns to extend
their range.  These were made in South Africa and Belgium and then
shipped to Iraq.

1/ What were these modifications(to the guns not the shell)?

2/ What are their ranges in comparison to Allied pieces?
