The last one looks like he is trying to walk the tank on a leash and it’s fighting back. 
Very cool markings,I really like the non conventional markings
That’s what you do when you don’t trust the main gun or it’s ammo.
You might be pretty close to the answer. The cable appears to enter the turret through the side pistal port.

I know I am, not to sound snobbish but it’s still taught at the Master Gunner course at the Armor course.
Had a buddy who went to the course last year.
The US rounds are electrically fired however.
Indeed, Dan is right. With US guns, there’s a requirement that they be fired with the longer 50 foot lanyard after the recoil system is refilled with nitrogen, or when something is suspect. Unfortunately there was a thread several years ago that erroneously stated it was because the crew couldn’t stand the recoil on the M110. Nothing could be farther from the truth of course. There’s nothing exceptional about the recoil on the M110 series.
