The only pictures of a gun camera I saw were at the personal albums of 2 ARR vets.
The first one ,named Simulenciu,lived in Brasov ,died in 2002.
I saw at his home a few pictures of a dog fight training,where a gun camera was used.
The others were "action"ones.If Victor will post them,you can see a Pe-2 being shoot.Got them from Eusebiu Hladiuk.

In 1934 ARR purchased 21 gun-cameras K-28, produced by Polskie Zaklady Optyczne (PZO) for P.11b fighter planes.

It's a P-2!

If the date for the photo showing the twin-engined machine is the Summer of 1941 it could be as well a Yak-2/Yak-4.
Excellent shots, btw!

Nice photos thank you very much Victor !! Does anyone know if the guncamera was mounted on same axis as the gunsight or was it mounted in the wings ?

The engine canopy of the enemy plane looks weird, not like a Pe-2 or Pe3 (look in the 1st photo and compare with these ones):
