Unknown sights, any ideas?

The second one is the rear end of an anti-tank gunsight (possibly for the 25 pounder), made by Ross Ltd (of binocular fame), I reckon.

 

Further thought: it's the eyepiece (with the graticule adjustment knobs stripped out), and the erector lens. The missing part is the outer sleeve that has the objective lens fitted to it and a long key to locate the sight in its mounting on the gun.

 

Best,

Chris
