Aren't they different? Looks like the top is a Directors viewfinder and the bottom is some sort of tiny film camera, maybe an 8m?
I'm not sure if directors use it as much as in the past. It shows you what the camera would see with the specific lens settings on the viewfinder. It helped because film cameras being massive, were/are difficult to move and position; a time saver definitely.

Top is an unknown directors view finder. The bottom pic is a Bell & Howell Filmo or Eyemo. Filmo shot 16mm and the Eyemo shot 35mm.

Side note --- I have a beautiful 1942 US Army Signal Corp Eyemo (just a collectors piece). With the 400 foot mag and giant electric motor it makes an interesting lobby piece for us.
