My assumption is that this question is about reflex-style sight glasses, as opposed to the ones that actually have a prism on the front (?)

Power Model Supply used to make them with the true reflex ground glass. I had one - I loaned it to Howard Gorin. He was going to make them, but it's been a long time.

Here is a picture of Bob Deans Reflex water glass.

From his web page:

1-1/8" x 3-1/8". Unit tested to 150 PSI. Loctite Thread Locker applied to all setscrews and nuts. Nuts torqued to 8oz/inch. Light is refracted at different wavelength so waterline and below appears darker to eye and liquid level is apparent at a glance. This unit has been scaled down from a Nathan Reflex Glass (minus night light and shield) and will give working water travel of about 2 inches. Bottom of glass should be .500" above top of crown sheet minimum.
