Stellan, you are absolutely right!

Now that you have pointed it out, I realised that there are 3 seats, and the one nearest the camera is the sight correction number, bent over the BOFORS COURSE AND SPEED SIGHT corrector ( in British Army terms). I suppose the man standing next to him is the Gun Commander,giving him the data about the target to feed into the corrector.
The loader is obscuring the sight, but the cable to the graticule illuminating bulb remains visible.

The apparent absence of the rather bulky sight cross tube mystifies me! Could it have been 'censored out' of the picture?
