The second was a standard run of the mill artillery canon that is a tow behind.. Obviously something that would be left behind in a situation where a force was retreating or lost control of an area..

Oh snap! Yeah.. where have the Syrian Rebel's arms come from? Pretty much where they have been saying all along.. They have captured ground from the Assad Govt and taken the weapons.

Not to mention the entire middle east is filled to the hilt with old soviet weapons and surplus. Obviously there are going to be arms dealers flocking to the area to sell shit.. It happens in any war, specially a civil war that isn't being waged by a modern country.
