RN J/K/N-classes destroyers

Hi everybody!
Please, may anone prevent me from running amok?
I am looking and searching my eyes out for the reason why the J/K-class destroyers had their aft twin 4,7 in guns mounted forwads. I know I read it somewhere but do not find the exact reason for this. Also it seems as the N-class had their aft mounts traind aft. I saw pix of N-cl vessels showing their guns being trained exatcly in 180° ship long. axis. This would not have been possible in J+K-classes, as their mounts could only be trained from 170° stbd to 170° bbd.
Or where all refitted later so their guns were mounted aft?

Thanks a lot for any hints for the reason why to mount them showing forwards,

very best regards,

Thorsten
