I have noticed the Revere has a similar problem with its DOF scale.
Some time ago I searched the archives for discussion of the Revere
DOF scale problem (I didn't know the Kodak shared it);  I found one
person had brought it up, but there did not seem to be any followup
discussion.  I shot a test roll of film through a new-to-me Revere,
and the slides shot with the hyperfocal setting were severely out of
focus at far distances.  What do other Revere (and Kodak?) users do
if they want to use the hyperfocal setting?
