Argentina's Leander-pattern triple turret

A brief design-comparison answer distinguishes visual details from the underlying turret arrangement.

Question

How close was Argentina's triple 6-inch turret to the turret used in the Leander-class cruisers?

Short answer

It was effectively identical apart from minor stylistic differences.

Notes

The Argentine mounting and the Leander-class turret were substantially the same design. The remaining differences were stylistic rather than a major change in capability or internal concept.
