Yes, there are several pictures of the battery in 1939 and 1940 in Alain Chazette's book "Dunkerque - Six batteries pour défendre un port".

like these
These canons must be installed to the south where the french leitstand was constructed
here we see the french leitstand in 1935

here are the guns , They must be a bit south of the french Leitstand
must be end ju,ni or begin july 1940
The Barges Ethel Everard and Audie have their sailes in one piece

intresting also that the germans used the same style of camouflage on the wood

Here a plan from 1942 from the battery with the 3 x 9.4 cm guns ,
could the 9.4 cm gun be placed during the Operation Dynamo ??
