One (or the only?) of the differences are the art of the cross hairs.

Greetings...

Re: REVI 16 versions
 
Here's a quick breakdown,

The Revi 16A was mostly used in turrets or hand held machine guns, 16A's had an electrical plug/socket on the rear side for power.
The 16B mostly used in fighter aircraft, had a contact pad on bottom for electrical power.
The dail on the 16D would basically adjust the reticle/range for dropping bombs or firing missiles.

In this video (at the 42-45 second mark) you can see a Revi 16A mounted on a hand held waist gun.
