Now with pontoon Causeway.

And for good measure, here's the pontoons on their own sheet. Note that these are not mexi floats, though they serve the same purpose.

I'm reasonably sure the directors are the Mk 52, basically a Mk 51 with a small range-only radar attached.

Navsource has a number of surprisingly good images of this class (careful: some large files).

That seems to be the case. It's mounted higher in the tub than normal and that's what has thrown off the identification so far.
Now to find an illustration of the Mk 52.

Thanks for that. Btw, does anyone have any idea what that black blob on the side deck under the bridge is?

You have to right click on either view or download and copy the link location. Then you have to strip everything after the file extension to get it to work.
