d) the horizontal separation between centre-line and sight-line - 40mm.
Now grab a tape measure, find a mirror and measure the distance from the centre of your nose to the middle of your right pupil.....
Mine is 37mm.
The offset Revi gunsight is installed to sit directly in the right eye's line of sight.
No leaning required.
Here's a link to the full image....I'd post it here but it's a bit big....3mb.

When Lixma first came out with this I was dead against it and was on the "lean to see" side of the argument but I have come to the same understanding.
Its all about right eye dominant, in reality the sight would have looked more to the centre than it actually is.
