Military movie from the 50’s or early 60’s that featured a row of latrine toilets that the seats flipped up when you stepped on a switch.

A couple of guesses, these are all military movies, 1950’s or 1960’s, black and white and there is latrine in the movie:

The movie reminded me of gomer Pyle USMC . Because it was set in a boot camp and the private was a hilarious idiot that always meant well. And the Sargent was a hard ass like gomers Sargent Carter.

It has been a while since I last saw this one, and I do not remember latrine in the movie, but it is military themed, 1960’s, black and white, maybe it is worth checking it out:
“Guns at Batasi” (1964)

Nope it was a comedy. And I can't remember what the name was. The private was a screw up who wanted to please his drill sergeant and did everything he could think of but it always backfired on him with comedic results. His drill Sargent got drunk and kept stepping on the switch while his barracks was being inspected by a general or Colonel. And the resultant sound of the seats flipping up got him busted. I thought it was called "No time for Sargents" starring Andy Griffith but it was not that one either.

Another guess:
“Carry on Sergeant” (1958)

No it's an American movie. This is an English movie at least about the English service.

“Leave It to the Marines” (1951)?

And I don't think it this one either. Leave it up to the Marines

There is this earlier episode, with the same title and with Andy Griffith, but with different director and cast. There is latrine in this one as well:

Thanks this was the right answer
