These are very useful ideas; however, I would prefer that "yellow" be changed to "black" as the "yellow" washes out in bright sun light. (being an old fart, my eyesight isn't as good as all these young fellers.  )

While sadly I have been unable to get a picture of what was seen exactly through an attack scope, I have readed a description of it by a commander, and he stated that there were several scales visible in red, green, yellow, black and white.
green and red are for the AOB port/starbord
white over black background is for the bearing to target
black lettering is for the graded scale in the crosshair (The one with the "10" numbers)
So....that leaves yellow for the distance to target, and that's the reason why it was chosen for the masthead heigth. From what I can deduct, the estimated mastheight was set with a handwheel, and teh current setting was visible in the numbering I have circled in yellow in the picture below.
Then, when the stadimeter was used to measure the angle between images, that would move a synchronized wheel to show distance through the eyepiece in a yellow scale.
:hmm:
