Both does not have H tail like this one.
Boff said it;s Handley Page Hampden and it's most likely solution for this one

 

[Rommel]

I goggled the HP Hampden. And I think your right. the 210 and 410 had pointed nose cones. and the AAA crews are not shooting.
Good call.

 

[zaraza]

Better say Boff is right

the AAA crews are not shooting.

The no ammo drums or shields in place on both AAA guns

 

[Rommel]
