Inconsistency between stated barrel length in meters and calibres

The L-11 gun is stated to have a barrel length of 3.2m or 30.5 calibres. But, the calibre of the gun is 76.2 mm - thus a barrel length of 3.2m is 3200 / 76.2 = 42 calibres. So, one of the stated values must be incorrect. Either the barrel is 42 calibres long, or it has a length of 2.32m. Is it possible that the digits were transposed from 2.3m to 3.2m?
