Yes both had Zim, but it was rare to see the Poeshe Turret without it. Basically only prototype Porshe Turrets didn't have it. As for Henschel turets, it all depends, and again all depends on the era you are modeling. Here is a very useful link..

Yes, both turrets (Porsche & Henschel) had Zim and non-Zim coatings.

I've got a reference with two photos of tanks in museums, one at Shrivenham and one at Kubinka. Both have Henschel turrets, both have Zimmerit.
