Yes it looks like a 10cm 7P7. What's the source Jos? Westwall or Atlantikwall?

Must be Westwall, Most of the AW bunkers had an 78P9 or the combination of plates.

Soviets did similar tests. Caption of these pictures says: Bunker destroyed by SU 152 (or/& artillery) fire. Fortifield area of Mława. It seems it is bunker with casamate 5P7, but location is wrong. Mława is a Polish pre war fortification on north Masovia, so it should be East Prussia area.
