As far as the device itself. I do believe it is a legitimate component of delousing equipment.
I've seen it somewhere before, maybe on this forum.
When Jack Taylor had this device photographed, along with a gastight door and an exhaust fan, all of them were freestanding outdoors, i.e. not connected to the shower room "gas chamber". See
his report, pages 13-14. I'm inclined to believe these were taken from the delousing chamber in Barrack 25, which is known to have had a Zyklon circulation device. I've seen no evidence contradicting this theory. But Mattogno does not argue this, and I don't want to speculate too wildly about things I do not know about.

If the Germans dismantled gas chamber equipment, they wouldn't leave it behind.
I think they might, if it was only used for delousing. But if it was a secret murder weapon? Not likely.

In this video a representative of the camp museum says the gas was introduced by a "ventilation system". They show a simplistic graphic of the room being filled with gas.
I like how the video shows the gas chamber door handle being operated from the in side.
Also in the video, Daniel Simon, president of the French Amicale de Mauthausen, claims the ventilation cover was opened by a lever that ran along the ceiling of the gas chamber to the hallway. This is the first I'm hearing about this. I don't see any physical traces of this lever. Assuming it existed, what was to stop a determined victim from getting up there and yanking on the vent cover or the lever?

(I didn't see any shower heads)
The shower heads seem to be disappearing over time. There were six of them in a photo Mattogno took in 1990. Close-up photos of the shower heads show they were perforated, indistinguishable from real ones. Perhaps the museum has allowed them to become damaged or stolen and then taken them down so that they don't have to deal with this uncomfortable fact anymore.

What is the story of Diament Leo who Eric Hunt mentions in his video?
It seems Elie Wiesel wrote of a specific hanging and claimed the youngest victim was a 12-year-old, among other things, but the actual youngest victim was provably 23.
