Yes, if the springs are as strong as you describe they can only be for recoil, which means rotation must occur between the clamps as you say Ben. However it's unclear to me exactly how this would be achieved. I suspect it means the cradle itself must be modified, as the monopod pivot point seems too low to be used. That is, the barrel would strike the top of the hull aperture upon elevation. Seems to me the gun needs to sit lower in the clamp. You could try using a string line to determine the required pivot point.

It's certainly a brain teaser, you may need to get hold of an actual Boys to figure it all out.
