BH, BH2
These use the same horizontal linear dovetail turret:
However, be warned that BH (always?) uses 25 mm (M25) Neo finite objective where as BH2 uses 26 mm (M26) infinity corrected objectives. Here is the underside of a M25 turret, note that they both look the same:

There are also RMS turrets:

BH3
Unlike earlier BH, the BH3 is motorized and uses a larger vertical linear dovetail. I was able to take the 5 position revolving part off of this and transplant it onto BH2 dovetail to make a BH2 compatible.
