Tank episcope, but for what tank.

[Carfin LEWYS]

Hello gentlemen,

I've had this tank episcope in my collection for over 40 years and have no idea what gear it may be part of.

No markings, a part is probably missing, and it unfolds in three positions as you can see on the last three photos, but the general configuration must correspond to a specific type of machine

I'm counting on you to put me on the right track.
Thank you very much for replies.

Best regards from Alsace , France.

Hi Carfin,

There seems to be mk numbers ranging from 1 to 12. Since you have just this one part i imagine it is a lot harder to be specific with what mk it will be

Check out this thread on the HMVF forum. These guys made a discussion with some cool diagrams showing this part in some different set ups depending on the mk
