Default Bofors sights
1. Am I right in thinking that the Bofors calculator could be turned 360 degrees around? That could be why Tony´s picture is a "mirror" version.

2. Tony´s picture is showing a Bofors FC m/35.

3. Rob´s is a Bofors FC m/38.

4. The first batches of Bofors guns delivered to UK from Belgium, Poland and Sweden had "Polish sights" = Bofors FC. The latter batches delivered from Poland to UK had no sights, since they should be used with the No 3 Kerrison Predictor and also be fitted by British crosswire-sights.
