Japan is the only faction in the game to not have a semi auto sniper. This would be a good fit for the base game tech tree for BR3.

The model ingame even has the scope mount.

I think a type Otsu or type Hei with a scope would be more likely since the non scoped version of this is a premium.
I really doubt they would add a scoped TT version of a premium weapon. Some sort of semi auto sniper would be nice though, even if it’s just a Type 4 with a garand scope stuck on it.

Indeed, it would make much more sense to add a Type Otsu with optics (it mounts on top of the receiver). The Type Ko is a very weak rifle now, even against the Type Otsu. Type Ko has very low damage for a semi-automatic rifle, has very long reloading time and low rate of fire. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the performance of the Type Ko, especially the damage and rate of fire. After that it would make sense to add the Type Ko to the upgrade branch, so that the player can choose between a 10 round rifle with long reloading time and stronger recoil, and a 5 round rifle with fast reloading and weak recoil. Also please note that in the premium squad fighters have Carbine Type Ko, as in turn in the pumping branch can be added Rifle Type Ko, by the way there was still a late Carbine Type Ko, which can be distinguished by a folding bayonet. Late Carbine Type Ko could serve as a reward for the event.

Moreover, we already have experience when AS 44 was added to the pumping branch, although almost identical model was in the premium squad.

“Sniper III” should be attached to the Type Hei automatic rifle. All Type Hei rifles have a slot on the left side for mounting optics (this is just my theory, but one Russian site wrote a good article about Japanese semi-automatic rifles, and it said that the automatic version of Type Hei on test had a telescopic sight).
