The US Army one, I think it is.

It was $19 on ebay.  Some guy had copied it in 12 photocopies and
was flogging them.  Probably highly illegal, though at the time I
thought I was buying the genuine article.

Dunno.  Lots of drawing of internal gubbings of the M2, along with a
number of the lenses.  Haven't had time to look at it in detail. 
Thought it might come in useful in the future, if I ever fancy a
career as an amateur demoisher of M2s ;)
