    The “coupling” refers to the Periscope assembly for the M113A1 APC, likely for the T50(Aust) Turret:
    Limited info indicates system development in the ’60s, for Tanks and LAV’s, found a home in the
    M113 APC
    ,
    and its improved versions.
    This one’s form is similar to those supplied by the U.S. to the Australian Army.
