Ah, the H&K G3 rifles had integral 30mm rings, meaning you'd need a scope very similar in size and shape to the Hensoldt Z24. The US market HK91 and SR9 rifles were offered with the option of 30mm rings to be attached to a STANAG claw mount.

In either case, no longer than 12.5" and an objective lens under 50mm, so as not to interfere with operation of the rifle. 30mm scopes are common in the US these days, less so in 1987, but there were some on the market. Plus, maybe a German glass would be suitable, just one from the 80s instead of the 70s.
