The gunsight reflector glasses are not original. I believe it to be a prewar sigh
On the plate: Zeiss/Jena

Hello

The gunsight looks like a Revi 4, and is effectively prewar (around 1935). Built by Nedinsco, the Dutch subsidiary of Carl Zeiss.

The stick seems to be a "standard" French SAMM 103, used on about every French military jet plane built between about 1955 and 1970, ranging from the Fouga Magister trainer to the Mirage III. A detailed view of the plate may give more informations, but not sure !

Have a nice day

Thanks. We did have Fougas and Mirages in the Brazilian AF.
As for the Gunsight, I believe it was brough to Brazil in the thirties by a group of Air Force pilots that went to visit de Luftwaffe.
