I recently received a British 95mm howitzer tank sight made in 1956 and was wondering what vehicle used it. Can anybody help?

The sights are about 18 inches long, about 14 inches of it are about 2 inches wide, the remaining 4 inches are 2 and 3 quarters wide. The writting says TEL. STG. No.48x3L TPL.Mk1/1 NoT.794 1956 . It also has a marking of a Large R with a small L under it. It is a dark green color.
