Thank you for the photos on the bottom. They are helpful to understand the structure of the cupola.

The wreckage of cars found on Paramushiro Island near Cape Iwaki. Presumably the machine for laying cables and installing mobile searchlight.

It was possible to identify the buildings on the island Paramushiro. Previously it was assumed that it was an anti-aircraft battery. In reality, it is the position of the Japanese air defense radars.

In the picture a similar system, captured by the Americans in the fortress Muroran.

In 2016, the position of this gun was examined, a bannik and chargers were found, and the remains of a Japanese soldier who blew himself up with a grenade were found under the boxes.

Judging by the solid wheel, it's likely a Komatsu similar to the one the US captured on Guadalcanal.
