The Austrian Army mounted T34/85 turrets on concrete bunkers as border defences after WWII. Later, they also added M47 Patton and even later than that, surplus Centurion turrets (ex-Canadian I believe).
The current GEC Marconi Marksman AA turret (designed as a "drop-fit" into most modern MBTs, but only used by Finland on a T55 chassis) has been offered as "point defence installation" - read turret on a concrete bunker...
Cheers,
