MG08 Sight Accessory

[mg34nz]

Hi All,
Have a look at the pics and see if you can tell me what is on this sight,it has some sort of sleeve fitted to the sight upright which slots into the grooves the sight slider runs in.Not something I have seen before and therefore am curious to know what it is and if it is a "factory" accessory or a field made one.
The gun is a NZ captured War Trophy Gun that has sadly been very neglected over the years!

Cheers
Andrew

Might be a broken anti aircraft sight stem?
