IIRC from his book, the front gun was operated -blindly' by an african crewmember, with a length of rope tied to his foot. When Zumbach wanted him to open fire, he yanked on the rope...

I am trying to remember the name of Zumbach's book, but I am drawing a blank just now.

*** a few minutes later ***

Found the book!

Corgi
On Wings of War

My life as a Pilot Adventurer
Jean Zumbach

Originally published in French, 1973
First English translation published 1975

Saludos,

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

This aircraft came to Biafra as a B-26R N12756, cn/7245. Originally a USAAF A-26B-40-DL 41-39531, N64Y, FrAF 4139531 it received it's
strange nose during trials with radar while with the French..
The nose gun was a Czech built tripod mounted infantry weapon. A second weapon was mounted in the tear of the bomb bay pointing down.
One source describes the camo as a swirling pattern while another has a profile similar to the one shown on this post. Photos are inconclusive to me.
