Such a design with the larger turrets firing over the small ones is completely unethical. If you go on google images you will see that all results show the big turrets out in front. You can't always believe wikipedia they seem to have a lot of mistakes regarding prototype ships or ones that never leave the drawing board.

But front section of the ship is to narrow, you can place small usecondary armament in this front section, or leave it empty, under the turret is huge and deep hole/shaft there is not enough place for triple 280 in place where 150 dublet is. Most of images of P-class shows torpedo tubes on deck, and elliptic stern. This ship is almost as long as Sharnchorst (5m shorter) but is 4 meters narrower then she. There is no rule that secondary armament must be in second position from bow or aft. I know that she looks strange but this make sense. Remember that you need place for 12 MAN diesel engines, fuel bunkers, armour, crew, and torpedo compartment, as you have 6 submerged torpedo tubes.
