Question Help needed to identify NVG mounts

As the title of the thread sugests; I am wondering if anyone could help me identify these two NVG mounting arms I recently aquired from a former CSOR member.

Thanks in advance.

This first one seems to be made of some type of heavy plastic:







This next one is made of metal and has some type of label in a language I have never seen before.

The first is CADEX NVG Mount. http://www.scoutbasecamp.com/product...0-flip-up-only

The second one is Israeli. That language is Hebrew. I've no idea about the model.

f4949(anvis) mounts are extremely common, so I would ditch that one.

the cadex mount is definitely worth holding onto for now. Someone will want it for an impression at some point.

You have a few different mounts there. Including a Wilcox F4949/F5050 mount.

Basically, it's an ANVIS mount which was part of the contract by EXELIS when providing F5050's to forces. Since it was kind of a one off item, I can't really locate the exact manufacturer EXELIS used for the part. F4949's are ANVIS-9's and F5050's are PVS-23's (uparmored ANVIS-9's) used by CANSOFCOM.

Recently CANSOFCOM has been replacing all of their ANVIS mounts with the Wilcox Ground Spec Goggle Mount (GSGM) which was designed for GPNVG systems, but is backwards compatible with most Ball detent mounts such as those present on the F5050(PVS-23).

You can find older ANVIS style mounts in the cheap bin because they typically require an external battery to run (Unlike the GSGM) or they were replaced by upgraded mounts such as Adam Industries Surface ANVIS Mount

What really sets your mount apart from others, is that it comes with a ground mount adapter already installed. This allows the mount to be used on USGI helmet interfaces out of the box. Definitely a cool little bonus.
