Now, I'm estimating that this is used to see both FOV and focus, along with confirming the eyebox.
As you can see, each slightly different colour set of rays are parallel. This means that the intended focus is infinitely far away. I've also used colours slightly different from RGB to prevent personal confusion.
It's slightly misaligned but it's close enough for a description.
The below image is with a lens focal length of 80 instead of 50. In the first simulation, I would've thought that this would collect parallel rays (red) but no there's a (wider than the lens) location where an item would be in focus:
What about F40?
Wow. I just looked using the placeholder 40mm beamsplitter prints and can indeed confirm that the focus, FOV and eyebox are probably correct. Magical. No... scientific!
