Ron, as a WAG I would think that allied/US interest in these items was more in the battery development than the sights/lights themselves. If the Germans were looking at exotic metal batteries (common now) they would have had widespread military applications. I'm guessing the battery packs were 'classified' and now only exist as notes and bits & pieces in some dusty laboratory...

(Natick Labs perhaps...)
