Pistol port locking mechanism

Yes, that's it. I have that diagram but what I need is a close up of that locking mechanism on a real tank. It appears to be a solid block of steel that the handle engages, but I would very much like to find photographic proof of this. I need someone with access to a Sherman to give me a close up photo of this, free of any obstructing handle.
Thx for posting,
Patrick
