The first photo was taken at Tateyama. Probably, it is 30cm L45 at Sunosaki, Chiba.
The second photo is 40cm L45 probably at Iki.
The third photo is 40cm L45 at Pusan.

They were all taken by the Americans after the war. Because they are from the Americans, the information on the photos is not clear. For example, the caption of the second photo says Fukuoka. But, there was no turret cannon at Fukuoka. So, it will be Iki near Fukuoka.
