I'm not at home until Sunday but I think I have a cannon or two with elephants and maybe limbers in a box.  PM me if interested.

Thanks for the kind offer, but I've just ordered the cannon from wargames emporium.

For my next trick, who makes suitably scruffy looking Afghan type guns crews. I want 'em to look a complete shower as there'll be a bloke with a drum and one waving a flag with each cannon!

Mutineer Miniatures do a pack of four irregular native Artillerymen ,some Afghan looking types in that pack that a suitably drab colour scheme may tie them in with what you're after,and only £4 a pack of four too.
Or Wargames Foundry do a pack of native Artillerymen in their Sikh war range,£12 for six though.
Don't Artisan and the Perry's do Afghan native artillery too ? Oh and try AW miniatures Mutiny range as well.
All of the above in 28mm of course :)

You might note that an Afghan, from my limited personal experience, would NEVER allow himself to be seen in public bare-chested.
