Do not know what aircraft but it is a nice bit of equipment in excellent condition from the photos.
GSAP means gun sight aiming point so it probably goes with the AN-N6 GSAP camera. As far as I know that was the only one used at that time by the USN and USAAC/F.
Here are two articles from http://www.cameratopia.net/ covering the N6 and N6A cameras that I collected a couple of years back. Unfortunately the site appears to have died.

They were used on virtually all fighters with the AN-N4 and AN-N6 GSAP 16mm cameras.
I don't think that the mount (shown in the OP) differed much between aircraft types.

You're very welcome!
And to add to that, look up the M-4A (contracted 1943) manufactured by Bell & Howell (Telete type-V 76mm F/4.5)
