Rear Sight ID Aircraft Camera

Going through old boxes in my shed and found this par
I initially thought it was some sort of rifle sight although but it came in job lot of aircraft parts and has a part number 14A/1095008 Rear Sight F.134 ?
The closest thing I’ve found is a reference to an aircraft camera made by Williamson but no other details

Any one any ideas ??

Yes, looks very much like a camera sight. There’s one shown here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COLD-WAR-RAF-F95-Aerial-Surveillance-Camera/332582784538?hash=item4d6f7a8e1a:g:cG0AAOSwOy1apT5u
