The flying boat has a nose turret that differs from the usual Alkan type used on all other Do 24 I have seen. Was it a powered turret?
Was it introduced in the last production run of the type or simply a one off?

It's the same turret type as used on the Ju 188, Ju 290, BV 222 and a few Fw 200s and I think it's the version with the MG 151 rather than the version with the MG 131.
