Looks like a MG-15 field adapted for base defense by LW ground crew.

Yup, a Rheinmetall Borsig Flugzeugmaschinengewehr MG 15, with converion for ground use.

Edit: I don't see the shoulder-stock adapter. Perhaps it is a standard MG 15 and that it is just used for target practice by bomber gunners. the "4" sign indicates that it is most likely a practice range, and not a defencive emplacement.

... and it has aircraft sights.

Don't worry Pongo, soon we'll be trying to figure out who those guys are and who made their uniforms as well. ;)
