This is the best I can do as I was not driving and my wife reluctantly pulled off the road and allowed me to have a look.
Very unprofessional sorry.

R600b an open ringstand, this also held a 5cm KwK L/42 gun and either gave it up to the casemate when it was constructed or they kept this gun and added another L/42 into the casemate?
