Turret Identification

Gentlemen.

I wonder if anyone can identify this turret?

Definitely a Bristol B17 twin 20mm Hispano upper cupola from a Lincoln.
Take a look at Graham Adlam’s Spitfire Spares site; Aircraft Armaments, Page 3.
(Fifth item from the bottom of the page.)

Or the Lincoln, the black trim might suggest this as the likelier option?

Not an expert, so I bow to those who are, but I think it’s a cupola from a Bristol B 17; I believe that’s the type used in the mid upper on the Shackleton?
