Further to #1519
The equipment is a Barr and Stroud Triplex FT25 rangefinder.
One was a normal rangefinder, the second observed fall of shot and the third was a cross reference.
Also Used by the Regia Marina.

Yes, I think that is it, on some other pics of Bretagne the array can be seen clearly above the bridge.
The picture for the quiz was of the Coubert and apparently those were the two classes on which it was fitted.

Yes, really ‘like’, but not identical apparently.
I just looked at one of my pics, layout is right, awning and railings are wrong.

Yep, dammit, I knew it looked familiar.
