It's not the Nexter T40 turret, but an older effort at experimenting with 40mm as main armament for an IFV.

Thank You! It turns out that there are two very similar variants of 40-mm turret, which were tested in France somewhere in the 80s. I found one (will be posted in the blog a few days later), - and you have shown me the second version.

You are most welcome. Glad I was able to help. As to the other variant, I think I know what you're talking about. Even sent you a picture via pm on a forum we both frequent. ;)

Это раструб для правильного формирования факела, фронта ударной волны и энергии отката (для работы автоматики).

Цилиндрический обруч упорно напоминает соленоид для выставления взрывателя

Во-первых, не напоминает, а во-вторых - действительно, рановато. Это место прикручивания надульника.
