But Bofors only started to be produced in 1936 and Dubrovnik was commissioned in 1932. "Official trials for the Swedish Navy took place on 21 March 1932. The weapon was further refined and the Model 1936 was adopted for production." http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_4cm-56_mk12.htm Check the photo of Dubrovnik that you posted in page 5 of this thread. The double guns mounts between funnels don't appear to have a Bofors tube.

Hello Dili, welcome aboard "Paluba"!
The twin gun clearly visible (when enlarged) on several aerial photos of destroyer "Dubrovnik" - Sep. 1934. posted by Dreadnought on p. 5 (taken in port of Split) is for sure the same one that you have posted today.
- twin 84 mm /or 2-3"4 (55) AA/
Should be no doubt abt it.

Dubrovnik before rearming with 40mm AA bofors guns, had 6 x 37mm AA guns ...
Two 37 mm AA double (twin) guns mounted between funnels [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
and two single 37 mm AA guns on the each side of the ship [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thanks Dreadnought. Do you know what was the name of that 37mm Gun? The only thing i have seen is Skoda 4cm/67? (Many Skoda weapons have the calibre number shortened or augmented to the decimal value so 4cm might mean 37mm.)
Thanks jadran2.
I think that Drubovnik gun appears to be this gun:
