The bulb used for illuminating the encoder wheel is marked "6.3V" and has an integral lens.
See photo below.
Two of these bulb are used, side by side.
It is possible that they are energized independently to select different tracks on the encoder disk,
e.g., the "SEC"-mode numeric encodings versus the "Hz"-mode numeric encodings.
