Hello,
I made the measurements on my Kowas. Please keep in mind that my old TSN-4 is with protective glass before the prism. The two bayonets are considerable similarities but differences too.
The same time I made measurements on my Baader Hyperion MK IV zoom nosepiece also. It has a 19 mm deepness, and 28,30 mm widht of the upper parts of the nose. Below that, after the cuts, just 25,98 mm and at the end 24,90 mm. So seems, that the nosepiece itself is wider that the inner part of the old Kowa scope bayonets.

Hello everybody,
I need to add a corrigenda to my previous message. I managed to add the Baader Hyperion MK IV zoom eyepiece to my Kowa TS-614 AND reached the infinity. I used the Baader-Hyperion 41,5 mm wide zero-lenght reducing piece (https://www.baader-planetarium.com/en/2"a--m41-5-zero-length-reducing-piece-(no-optical-height).html) and the A-adapter ring of the Hyperion zoom plus an O-ring. I am more that happy with this combo, the image is superb! Of cource I cut ca. 2 mm from the end of the nosepiece of the zoom, it is neccessary to apply the scope and ocular together.
