Naval Hispano-Suizia Twin Gun Mount

[Tzoli]

I've found this drawing on a russian forum, labelled as Hispano-Suizia A-32 Gun or mounting but google and navweaps failed me to provide more data or even photo.
Does anybody knows what this mounting could be and if any data about it's performance or dimensions?

It's a small calibre gun probably no larger then 57mm but more like 30-40mm.

It is mentioned in this book - http://prussia.online/books/torpedoy-pli - as dual 30-mm mount for torpedo boats, without much details.

Thank you for the calibre clarification maybe I can get more info that way.
Interestingly the mounting itslef is very similar to the British/Swiss GCM-AO3 mounting:

United Kingdom / Britain 30 mm/85 (1.2") GCM Series and LS-30B - NavWeaps

Actually it seems that it is that mount exactly. This mount used Oerlikon Contraves Type KCB - which is essentially Hispano-Suiza HS.831, after Oerlikon brought Hispano-Suiza. So it seems, that author of the Russian book was a bit out of date with information; seems he thought that this mount was still Hispano-Suiza work.

Ahh that would make sense now. And Oerlikon was bought by Rheinmetall am I right?
