Explanation:
Anyways!!, I found this info. that you need to check out. It gives you drawings of sponsons. Apparently they are small windows that are opened to insert weapons for defense purposes and safety of personnel during transport.

port-hole-Ventanilla, porta, portañola, tronera.

Mk IV sponsons.
Like the previous Heavy Tanks the Mk IV came in a male and a female version. The sponsons were redesigned, they were much smaller in size and could be swung inwards. This avoided the time consuming bolting on and off of the sponsons for railtransport. The 6pounder gun of the male version had a shorter barrel compared with the earlier Mark's.

See if this helps.
