I do realise the reasons behind keeping the 120mm L44? instead of the longer one, easier to maneuver and probably easier to balance/stabilize, but as mentioned they would face a powerfull enemy and still did not choose the gun with more penetration, furthermore US made ammo is said to be inferior to the German counterpart, I would understand keeping the weaker gun if they had at least got good enough ammo to compensate, a small design flaw
