Is it an optical rangefinder, or just a spar?

#3B, if that is not an optical rangefinder, where
is the rangefinder?
#3C, where does the primary gunfire director
crew sit/work?
Just aft of "B" turret is a small turret-like structure with two ports
on the front - that's the Director Control Tower. The Range Finder is
the rectangular structure across the back of this. There is a similar
but smaller backup installation just forward of "X" turret, a conning
tower with a smaller rangefinder on the roof.
