So, back at home. 
Finding them was pure luck. I bought parts for this prop, the Detention block cameras Han and Chewie blasted away when freeing Leia from the Deathstar:

The mainparts of it are six vintage slide viewer, manufacturer is Paterson, the type is "Trident" (i don´t know if the parts are also in other close looking types as the "Viscount", i only can say it´s for sure in the Trident).

This are inner lenses that i supose were use for magnifing, as they can be distance adjusted between lamp and outer lens.
The parts are old and the plastic is brittle, so i took everything out to make the hulls lighter. Less weight makes the screwed backs less prone to cracking. I put everything in a box and forgot it. Today i had some time and was just again looking for the Treadwell refence material , when i clicked on the pic above and was hit by a "Damn, i know that part, what is it?" followed by searching a lot of boxes.
The slide viewers can still be found on Ebay (mostly Ebay UK), usually between 20 to 30 british pounds - and 2 are needed. The slide viewers can be offered to the prop-community to build the detention block cameras, or you can ask if someone who builds the camera is so nice to sell you the inner lenses.
I have 6 - and 2 i need myself for my planned Treadwell, 2 i want to keep - if you are in no hurry i can send you the other 2 (if you want to build also a Treadwell)?
Edit: But if you don´t need them and only want the dims, off course i can make you more pics with measurements.
