Military M6 Scope??

Marked "M6", made by EK (Eastman Kodak?), very heavy, about 1" tube, with integral quick detach mounts (unlike anything I have ever seen for a rifle).
The magnification is very low, and the reticle is circular. I was told that it is the aiming scope for a spotting rifle on a tank, but don't know...

The M51 apc round was anti tank with a tracer, could do about 2.5" of amour.
The M63 HE was a general purpose round with about 3 lbs of explosive.
The M2 was a cannister round {shotgun} with 122 lead balls for anti personal.
There were many more options for the 37mm aircraft mounted, self loading gun, again that wasn't a game changer either.
