Larry,

Towards the end. The tray with 2 cannon was on the ground.

That little gun cam pod is pretty cool!

What was the dial on the back of it for?

It's an ESK2000: http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/b/Beobachtungsgereate/ESK%202000/lichtbild%20mg%20esk%20%202000.html

The dial on the back of the camera is probably the counter which shows if the camera has run and how many frames there are left.

They could be MGFFs but Im not sure.

They are MG-FFs. You can also see the extra ammo drums in the rear which the tail gunner is supposed to plug in if the cannon runs out of ammo.

 Ranger, thats a great site,I hadnt been to it for some time now.

 Started looking around on it and found a cool pic of a K4 with a 20mm gondie located where the DT goes.

 You can find it in the section that covers german guns,MG151/15 and MG151/20,in the archives section.

 I've seen this type of istallation before but never on a single engine A/C,it was syncro'd and fired through propeller arc.

   Wish I could read german as there's a ton of great documents to be found on that site.

Back then the parachute doubled as a seat cushion. :)
