Default Gun pits

Hi
I noticed something I though was odd in the German OB, units 508 '12.8cm FlaK 40' and 509 '12.8cm FlaK 40' have size 3 but have the same graphic as a gun pit. I dont know if these weapons were ever emplaced in gun pits? I think most ended up on railway mounts or in flak towers, 128 also came in a twin mounting, imagine that baby thumping away! Anyway It seems either the icon or the size is wrong as the 88 when it appears in a gun pit, unit 511 '8.8cm Gun Pit' has size one. I notice that the 8.8cm Gun Pit is discontinued in june 43, I would have thought the jerries would have been emplacing them in right up to the wars end.
Best Regards Chuck.
