COMMENT THIS PHOTO(2)
it's the correct way around as in this image if you compare the hill's silhouette:

The white markers are a navigation aid to stay on course when following the canal curves.

My very first thought was 'it's the Gaillard Cut', and you have confirmed this!
Excellent information, which is much appreciated.
