Hmm. That was my first thought but then I concentrated on the protruding cylinder underneath the tube. It appears big and single. I would expect two cylinders in the F-22.

Two cylinders (recuperator and recoil brake) of slightly different length typical for F-22:

For Sturm78, as a TWAG (Total Wild Ass Guess), 12"/52 pattern 1907. Comparing the bore to the sentry's head, seems too large to be 180mm. The 12" barrel was stepped, while the 180mm was a straight taper. If I could see under the cammo nets, possibly could make a more scientific guess.

Thank you, Art. The end with the 2 cylinders is quite damaged then on my picture.

Your photo shows the 130 mm M1913 L55 gun. These artillery guns were removed from the sunken cruiser Chervona Ukraine. In Sevastopol there were four two-gun batteries with such guns, initially the battery numbers were 113, 114, 115, 116, later the battery numbering changed.

The foreground of your photo shows the 130 mm B-13 L50 gun from the first series. We can see the expansion of the shield on the right side, which is a characteristic feature of the guns of this series; there was no such expansion in subsequent series.

The picture shows the 130mm / L45 gun M 1913, installed in Sevastopol on an open fire position called Bunker No. 60. The position was built in October 1941. There was another position with a 130-mm gun, called Bunker No. 59, nearby. Both positions were part of the Duvankoy stronghold. Bunker No. 60, like the entire Duvankoy strongpoint, was captured by the Germans in early November 1941.

The picture shows the 130-mm / L45 gun M 1913 of the "A" battery, mounted on the Duderhof Heights near Leningrad.

The picture most likely shows a special anti-aircraft mount for the Maxim machine gun, which was mounted on a machine-gun cart. Such a machine was developed for cavalry units in the 1930s. The machine gun had a limited level of horizontal guidance and required several machine-gun carts for circular fire.

The picture shows an experienced twin 37-mm 66K anti-aircraft gun, which was installed in the old Konstantinov battery of Sevastopol. This anti-aircraft gun was supposed to arm the new cruisers and destroyers, was not in serial production.

The picture shows the 152 mm Canet-Obuhov M1892 artillery gun, most likely installed in the summer of 1941 on the defensive line in the Olenino region (Rzhevsko-Vyazemsky defensive line).

Yes, you are right, this is the 203-mm gun of the coastal battery No. 10 in Sevastopol.

Single-gun mounts for 305 mm/L52 coastal guns were delivered in two orders. The first order in 1910 - for Fort Ino and Fort Krasnaya Gorka in the St. Petersburg region - a total of 8 artillery mounts. The second order was made in 1915 for the creation of open batteries of these guns in Finland and Estonia (the Moonsund Islands (battery No. 43 and No. 39) and the Örö Island (battery No. 60) - a total of 12 artillery mounts. In your first photo we can see an open 305mm / L52 artillery mount at Fort Ino, i.e. refers to the first order. In your second photo we can see an open 305mm / L52 artillery mount of Battery No. 43 (Saaremaa Island), i.e. refers to the second order.

The picture shows a 254-mm/L45 costal gun on the battery No. 665 in Kronstadt. In total, in 1941, the Soviet fleet had only 7 coastal guns 254-mm / L45 on batteries No. 123 and No. 132 in the Kronstadt area. These batteries could only fire at the Finnish army. Therefore, at the beginning of winter 1941/42, two guns from the coastal battery No. 132 were removed to the central part of the island in the area of the city of Kronstadt (German cemetery). Two concrete basemant were built. The new battery received the number 161, later the number was changed to 665. This coastal battery fired at the positions of the German army in the Peterhof area.

Are you sure an 152mm M1892 Obuhov-Canet ? I think the gun seems bigger....

Here, another image of a 180mm Soviet coastal gun MB-2-180 turret. Any idea about his localization ?
