There has been a trend to try an cowitness magnified and reflex optics around since the G36 did it for the German army. Normally the reflex optic is the offset or mounted atop the main scope as it’s fairly easy to get a lighter weight and smaller reflex sight than a magnified one. On occasion you have systems that try and use the Red dot with a separate magnifying tube on a swing arm that can shift from off set to inline. But this is the first I can think of for this reverse configuration. It shows why LPVOs are gaining popularity in western armies though. I mean that Vortex optic pictured above does the same thing with less weight and complexity just twist and your on.
The commando could have just stuck with the "magnified scope being on the top rail with the hologropahic sight being on the offset rail" combo like what literally everybody else does. The configuration shown in that pic is weird since shooting from a long distance would be awkward for the shooting arm. I wonder what the logic was behind his configuration.

"Exploring all options", including those that nobody else does, perhaps?

Perhaps later on he'd then figure out why something are evolutionary deadend?

Drum magazine on the DMR variant? Maybe done to give it some kind of squad automatic role when the occasion calls for it?
