S.K. bunker H.K.B. Morsalines

Hello All

These drawings are from the S.H.M. Cherbourg as you can see they were build in the army coast battery
at Morsalines W.n. 141 but as you can see there should also be build at Grenneville . My question is who
has ever seen this bunker outside the H.K.B. Morsalines ??? on a document from the S.H.M. Vincennes
the place Granville is named ???

The bunker has a personnel room and a water-storage , the last one has emplacement for a searchlight .

Regards Jos

It is not a L 402 which has his emergency exit always at 70 cm from the rear wall
a "old " 409 has it almost in the middle of the room (info for a quick identification )

Can we assume that it's a L 409 ? Or is it a L 402 ( mentioned by other websites )

Furthermore, according to another website, the following bunkers should also exist or have existed...
3 x R134
2 x R502
1 x Vf Leitstand

However from the air, in 2023, you can only see one open emplacement, all the other constructions are not visible...
can somebody confirm the above ?
