I was just looking at my unembossed pair of B.O.P. 7x50s and the binocular tubes and hinge are very different from any R.E.L. 7x50 I have or have seen.
Were only the optical elements of the R.E.L. 7x50 used perhaps?
Construction is much heavier and more robust overall.
I have seen photos of these conversion kits as New Old Stock parts and I'd be interested in obtaining a set of those if anyone has spares?
