Cannot focus sextant telescopes

I cannot get my sextant telescopes to focus. I have attached a photo of the telescopes and fittings.
In particular I am puzzled by the lens labelled F. It has male threads on both sides. The threads are of different diameters. Despite trying every possible combination I cannot work out how it is meant to be used. I am wondering I am missing a tube with a female thread at one end, although there aren't any empty slots in the case.
Any help with a Sextant Telescopes 101 would be appreciated.
