Frank,
I located the Leech and Kubetz article you referenced here:

I do not believe that I have ever seen that type of binocular in service, although evidently 1 PPCLI had some in stock in 2014. During my service, I have used either the old ELCANS, or the M22 ( and one pair of massive Steiners while overseas).
There is some potential that those Fujinon 7x30s were local purchase or left-over after a trial (more research required).
It appears that they might be “SHS” series:
