The ON M99 is a direct copy of a third pattern Zrak ON M76 scope, the only differences being the BDC dial, mount, and markings. While the scopes are usually marked صنع في العراق (Made in Iraq) on the top of the scope, it is unclear if they were actually made in Iraq under license or were a produced by Zrak in Yugoslavia for an Iraqi contact.

Known early examples have late 80s to early 90s serial numbers and are marked ON M76 with a BDC in 7.62x54r for use on the Al-Kadesiah rifle. Known scopes marked ON M99 have serial numbers in the early 2000s with a BDC in 7.62x39 for use on Tabuk sniper rifles. Most ON M99 scopes appear to have new serial numbers and models numbers engraved over an early ON M76 data plate. It is unclear if all ON M99 scopes started off as Iraqi ON M76 scopes.
