Not sure is not metasequoia would like to see more pictures of the branches. a lot of opposing new growth if you look 

Bloody hell, you have good eye sight.  Some of the bottom pics are opposite and if you zoom right in there a tiny leaf scars opposite the buds.  Can't say that is something i have ever looked for, as you say they look different in terms of shape if you see the whole tree.  I'm sticking with Taxodium but you got me questioning myself now.  More pics as suggested.

Buds are alternate which rules out dawn redwood.  Swamp cypress maybe. 

Looks like there are lots of opposite pairs of bud scars but not all buds have developed, I'm saying this because the leaflets look to be in strongly opposite pairs, which rules out swamp cypress and rules in dawn redwood.

Why not?

Defo not taxodium, which has really pointed needles.

Dawn redwood has opposite buds. The pictures show alternate
