Thanks all for the quick response.
Nisgeis, thanks for the welcome, if it's not obvious already I'm rather green. I have JSGME and have installed several mods that do not require editing the menu_1024_768.ini file. The Hamilton Navy Chrono mod's read me file refer to code sections G29 18 & G29 19, which now appear to be G29 12 & G29 13, with the end result of having the hands in the wrong place with the smaller hands missing.
To LukeFF, your right and thanks for cutting me a little slack. Will do better next time.
ancient46, I used JSGME to place the DDS as you stated and the chrono file Data\Menu\Gui. The amendments to the ini file do not appear to work.
All this makes me shy of trying the Better scopes mod.
