The fact that the optics were copied from, or inspired by the US and german devices does not mean that the reticles would be copied exactly. In fact, I think that it refers much more to the glass and metallic parts, to the hard parts of the construction.

The shot you posted looks to me like a picture of a japanese submarine when viewed through a US periscope, probably after the rendition of Japan.

There are many pictures taken through periscopes of Fleet Boats, and none I have seen do have those additional vertical and horizontal lines of that drawing you posted above.
