Which periscopes exactly? I have some detail pics of a few 55's that I can share if they are a help to you.

I assume you're referring to the driver's periscope washer? Here's one on a Finnish T-55M, there is actually a small external reservoir between the stowage bin and the hull that the washer hose goes to. I think the hose just sprays on to the periscope to wash it off.

Now, last question: and how is the pipe connected to the hull? in all these photos, the link/ connection looks like broken or anyhow loose. Any detailed photo?

There's a box on the fender, hidden by the storage box. It must be the water reservoir
