The night vision that you'd described sounds more like the AN/TVS-2 than the AN/PVS-3. The TVS-2 was a lot more common on M2HBs than the PVS series scopes.
Entirely possible, it's been nearly twenty years since I set foot in an arms room. But I do remember the PVS-3s to be large and never issued, only coming out of their locker for inventories.

DeleteI giggle a bit that the PVS-3 is referred to as a "miniaturized" night vision scope.
