Bunker "Wibbelsbach" looks really strange. I would vote for a second frontal embrasure for MG beside the flanking embrasure in the right wall. I don't know any standard design bunker with this feature.

Regards

This is little off-topic picture but shows also a captured German bunker with Russian "grafiti" as:
Attention mines!
Kill Hitler!
Kill Nazis!

It is from Russian book Галицкий, Кузьма Никитович "В боях за Восточную Пруссию: Записки командующего 11-й гвардейской армией"
Go to the down here searching for link page 116 - Дот Дееденского опорного пункта (стр. 116)

Yes, it is Eastern Prussia.
