I just found this photo online.

Seems it is a danish postwar use of a german 10x80 20 degree.
On the fort: Kongelundsfortet
At this time, with a Garand, meaning post 1950, the fort was part of the air defense around Copenhagen.
The bino seems to be in original german grey.
The coat is unknown to me. Boots suggest navy personnel. But the coastal forts around Copenhagen has switched between army, navy, and airforce over the years.
The dome´s behind the man are probably for the old cannons. If so, this is pre 1955. Later they had radars and AA rockets. (Update. found the same man on a dated photo. it´s 1954)
Unrelated to the Bino issue, yours truly participated in an attempt to blow up this facility 20 years ago. According to the plan, we succeeded. Yiee-haaaw.
PS: A tower for a rangefinder, same fort:
