Sunshield Accessory Kit

Has anyone ever seen one of these? Part Number is: 57K0257. I found it in the TM 9-2320-361-24P in the repair parts and special tools list. It looks as though it is canvas and not a tinted plastic. Curiousity got me.

I wonder if it was used for Nuclear testing, to hide the flash.

That thought had crossed my feeble mind.

my ... Even though it looks like canvas in the illistration, it might in fact be just tinted thick plastic...but Ive never seen one so I will not confirm nor deny lol. If it is canvas, and labeled a "sunshade" maybe it was desinged in the desert storm era for when your parked and needed to get outa that hot Kuwaity sun lol....who knows for sure. Kinda neat though. I woulda killed for some of those in Iraq in 04.

Also: I put that PN through FEDLOG on the Army side and the FLIS side and neither brought back anything...
