    Hi Giorgo,

    The prism you have is part of the prismatic gunsight for the 37mm cannon that was fitted to the M15-M15 A1 series of U.S. multi gun half tracks. They had a 37mm main gun and two .50 cal. water cooled machine guns on either side, below for the M15 and above for the M15 A1.

    The same gunsight and 37mm gun was also fitted to the Stuart M3 A1 light tank.

    Cheers, Ned.
