The mains are depicted in The Japanese Destroyer Kagero book by Valdemar Góralski, Kagero Publishing (ISBN 978-83-62878-85-7). They are hard to find, but they are there! Also, some of them are visible in the well known 1942 photos of Shiranui in drydock.
It seems like there should be more of them aft and on the foredeck, but I only included those I could find.

I really don't know. It makes sense, though, to mount them near the mains.
My questions to you: how did you arrive at those locations for the mains. My references are non-existent on this, AFAIK.
