H634 Six Embrasure Turret.

Details

This is a six embrasure turret that could have been in the two H634's here. A special mount with a seat inside the turret/cupola (it did not turn) could be fired from any of the six embrasures, by opening a small hatch and moving the gun to it. A periscope at the top would be used for observation and sighting.

Cupola inside.
