Veltro,
I also contend that in Hawks without reflector sights the iron sight would be aligned on the central axis of the a/c. I just saw Tora Tora Tora and the P40s had iron sights aligned in this way (I know this is Hollywood, but why would you put your only gunsight off axis?). Likewise I think if the French did not have enough reflector sights to go around they would have centered up the iron sight as their primary.
Please do continue your research. I would be glad to apply this sight to a version of the Hawk 75 if it is valid.
