Dear Wolf-Hound,
It appears to me that the first tobruk is not a real tobruk but more a like the upperpart of a French tank (Somua or other alike type) that was casted in, a better known example is to be found at Dieppe where a complete hull of a Ft17 was poured in concrete.

Dear Ykernverk, yes, turret № 1 is cut off the upper part of the tank- Hotchkiss H35.

That's the Futa Pass Pantherturm.

Could actually be a whole tank, looks like the hull is still there.

Pantherturm described as Arno - it's Futa Pass indeed. Looks like most photographed Pantherturm.

I believe I have located the so-called Senigallia Pantherturm to within a few hundred metres or so. It is actually no where near Senigallia but in the Ancona area. Still need to get my bearings to be sure and hopefully I can visit the area in due course.
