If I had to modify SNO-T,
I would add illuminaton (there is even a convenient slot in the handle which will fit the battery:-)
a zero magnification tube and a set of telescope filters.

And would make a decent box.
Alex.

You are correct, Alex, it is a SNO-T but with a micrometer vernier and 
Sewill's name. They have only done what many other retailers used to do (and 
for all I know, still do): buy an un-named sextant/ chronometer/ clock 
movement wholesale and put their own name to it.
