Tour on defensive works

Read this in the local paper today; a tour on the defensive works of my hometown and the reinstallation of a pedestal for a German 2cm flak 38 gun. However , i cannot recognize a 2cm flak 38 from the picture below, it's missing it's flash hider. It more looks like a 2cm Oerlikon.
Who can tell more......
Thanks in advance, regards, DJH

I think Marine FLAK 815, unit 6 was located there. mayb there is info about them somewhere.
 
in 1944-1945 an aircraft was shot down at Voorne, in the report there was a reference to 3,7 cm Flak, so an 3,7 cm C/30 might be possible too.
 
Looking at the size of the barrel, no flash hider, no thrwad for flash hider, the barrel being placed quite high in the weapon, the C30 sounds very plausible
