I would think light mortars (easily portable) would be fairly common while heavy mortars (probably abandoned in place or destroyed by counter-mortar fire) would be much rarer.
SPGs are probably rarer than tanks -- as big as a tank, as slow as a tank, but not as well protected as a tank -- as SPGs would draw more air strikes than tanks (an infantryman has *some* chance of killing the tank rumbling down the street towards him but *no* chance of killing the howitzer firing on him 15 miles away). Towed howitzers, while more vulnerable to counter-battery fire, might be more common.
Lets not forget AAA -- a 40mm Bofors without working radar can still shoot up ground targets like trucks, horses and infantry.
