The first one is especially interesting, as it shows a "halt" (i.e. a non-"swish"), which could require a stop to throw the single-point semi-switch to accommodate either a narrow-gauge or standard gauge loco's approach to (or departure from) the turntable, depending on which gauge loco last passed through.  This is different from a non-halt-necessitating 'draw' (aka 'swish') - as described on the thread which includes [ngdiscussion.net] along with several posts both fore and aft. *
