Looking for a couple Hungarian guns

I am looking for two Hungarian guns for my WW2 games. The 40mm AA gun 36M and the 80mm 5/8M Gun.
Do these have a close proxy in German kit or if GHQ does not make, who is my best option?

I think the nearest you'll get from GHQ would be the standard Bofors 40mm from the British range and the Italian 90mm AA (less shield) on a German 88mm cruciform carriage.

Mark:
CG2's suggestions are probably the best you can do.
The 40mm gun was a Bofors; license built by MAVAG starting in 1937.
I don't think I've ever seen one with a gun shield, btw.
The only other "possible" would be to use the russian "37"; it's similar to a Bofors and I'm guessing would give you a more useful truck...
While not cheap, the "88/90" cross kit sounds like it would be about as close as you'll get.
Myself? I just use some CinC "88's" without the shields till something better comes along.
