John, I say yes. Go to:
http://www.maritime.org/tour/tctvr.htm

it is on the Pampanito virtual tour and is a shot in the conning tower. It shows the scope and the handle sure looks like this one.

Hope this is quick enough and helps.

I don't think the handel is off a USN periscope..The bar at the botton is not consistant with the periscopeshandels that I am farmilar with.

Slow answer, sorry - looks like it came from a Type 8-B to me. The oversized square bezel is a clue.
