Lancaster Mid-upper arc of fire

Hi Folks,
I have recently come across a story of a possible accident, where a Lanc Mid-Upper gunner put rounds into the aircraft tail gunner's position, killing him. My question is about the gun baulks which I presume were fitted to restrict the field of fire of the Mid-Upper turret. If anyone can clarify this I would be much indebted. TIA
