I see it's referred to as a "0" generation night vision device. Apparently used by commandos and other sneaky groups. Reported to be used on d-day. This early generation needed an IR illuminator which is no problem for a vehicle. Submarines used an IR beacon so commandos could locate them on return trip.
There have been a few for sale on the web but as the HV battery was sealed inside all remain dead.
