Malcolm, I do not not have very specific knowledge about the WW other then visiting it three times and reading books about it.
Never seen any drawings or pictures of bunkers that are similar or look alikes.
There are however early light bunkers from where the sperres along the border were protected against an enemy attack.
But these lack the 7P7 roof, the only real type that comes to mind is the 509 that had a 7P7 as roof above a observationroom.
Also in the East (Pommernstellung, Oderstellung, Heilsberg etc.) I can not remember seeing photo's of similar MG bunkers, in the East the 7P7 was used on non standard type bunkers in the same way as the 509 (on top of a observationroom).
When the building on the A-Wall started the 7P7 was already to thin to withstand high velocity rounds from AA and tanks.
But I presume the bunkers on the CI were made before the real building on the AW started and before the Vorsatzplatte and Zusatzplatte were introduced so they could still use the 7P7.
But I do not have any written documents as proof.
