Were Juneau's wing turrets missing from the photograph?

The apparently missing wing turrets provide an example of camouflage making a ship's layout difficult to read.

Question

Were Juneau's wing turrets missing from the photograph?

Short answer

No. The wing turrets are identified as present in the photograph, with camouflage making them difficult to distinguish.

Notes

Juneau's wing turrets are identified in the photograph despite their initially unclear outlines. The camouflage makes the mounting arrangement difficult to read at a glance. Once the turrets are located, their apparent absence becomes an example of visual concealment. The correction concerns the photograph being discussed; it does not establish a change in the ship's armament.
