Which country modified the front sight hood with the opening on top? Looks to be milled from the pic.

Were K98 sights modified like that too?

I've seen where there are 4 holes drilled (2 on each side) of a K98 sight hood. And I think Israeli (7.62)?
 
Not tall enough for a G/K43 sight hood. I've seen the alleged Israeli K98 hoods with the holes in them, I think I've got one somewhere in my spare parts mess...
 
I've see several of the 2 hole hoods that have a roll pin in the rear hole, that fits right over the ramp on IDF 98k. The style with holes is the only type i've seen on the 7.62 rifles. Maybe the slotted top ones were used on the 8mm rifles? JL
 
I have a bunch of both the open square cutout types, and the ones with the holes drilled into them for the pins. Both are for IDF rifle, but the ones with the 2 holes and the pins were made by the Czechs. Not sure who made the square cutout type, Israel or the Czechs?
