I magnetized my Venom's guns so that I can remove them as they get destroyed, and point them at the enemy when I fire.

Another Dark Eldar player complained when I was shooting behind the Venom. I said they are clearly turret/pintle mounts, which is 360 degrees. He said that's only because I didn't glue them. I pointed to page 72.

Who was right?

I've used 180 for both. ETC clarification support this option too. 360 is a bit too much in my opinion.

The top-mounted weapon I'd probably agree at 180 degree fire arc, maybe even 270 but I can't see it being 360 as the gunner would then be in front of the gun! I don't see any evidence that the underslung venom cannon is intended to swivel. Seems to be a fixed position and would probably count as hull-mounted. with a 45 degree arc. Compromise at 180 for both maybe.

See, I can definitely envision the gunner hopping on the hood and shooting to the ear, probably teabagging the driver.

As for the lower one, to me it's definitely in a swivel mount that's only hampered by an artificial peg assembly that likely wouldn't exist on the real deal.
