So the photos contradict what the OP has told us. So OP can you
please clarify how you turned round have turned into the road by
mistake.
As Bham seem now to be offering the discount, I think it is
worthwhile submitting reps on a de minimis basis.

I accidentally took the wrong exit and turned into Frank Street,
by mistake. Realizing it's CAZ , I didn’t drive further into
the zone. Instead, I immediately made a U-turn at the triangular
island and rejoined my original route.
Do you think this is a strong argument to appeal on a de minimis
basis?

Whether by mistake or not is not the issue. You entered the CAZ,
this is strict liability and they may hold you liable. As shown
in the photos you fully passed the signs which are situated at
the start of the road. Unless the authority's video shows that
you turned immediately after entering the CAZ then you have no
objective evidence to support your claim.
They might exercise discretion, but if not then IMO you should
think whether to risk the discount by going to tribunal on this
point.

my two peneth,
collating the council pic with the gsv
I would suggest that unless the OP urned around the idland and
subsequently reversed back up the road, he clearly did pass the
sign and likely performed a 3 point/u in the entrances directly
in front of the cameras.

So, Best option for me here is to wait untill 13th day and If no
response came from Council(as it's likely).
I'll simply pay the Discounted fine and get rid of issue.
Otherwise, it's gonna be long wait and argument with Council and
Tribunal and in the end if they Reject my appeal. Still need to
pay double fine.
