The is no box on the Vietnam War Patton tank. There is a cupula, a small turret atop the big (main) turret which was designed to house the .50 caliber machinegun. The ONLY box appearing object topside the M48 Patton tank is the Television (TV) shaped device sitting atop the gun barrel (cannon barrel) where it meets the turret: that's the search light (Xenon Searchlight).
During the war, US tanks had no night seeing capability, other than some experimental "pink lights" and "specially mounted" NOD systems (Night Observation Devices). When the tank fired in the dark...crewmen turned on the big flash light! Commonly called the "RPG magnet" for obvious reasons; crewmen in Vietnam "really disliked" turning the device on during the night. Once turned on, tank crewmen would grit their teeth and nearly shut their eyes just waiting for some big explosion to strike their tank (return fire).
A good day of firing with the 90mm gun often broke the searchlights screen, and sometimes even the lamp inside.
Today's M1 Abram's MBT (Main Battle Tank) can see in the dark...and needs no such device attached to it.
