Just a guess, but the thick glass cylinder in the camera path may be a way to provide in the camera path the same length of optical path through glass as in the path to the observation eyepieces (where the optical path passes through two triangular prisms on its way to either observation eyepiece).
The Zeiss Photomicroscope series with large beamsplitter slider has a comparable glass parallelepiped in the position where 100% of the light goes to the camera tube.
At least some Nikon and Leica heads I have seen use instead different correction lenses to correct for the different glass thickness in the camera versus eyepiece path.

Hi Enrico,
Thank you very much for your information ! I opened the head and found exactly what you mentioned in your comment !
Now my goal is to remove the glass cylinder (I want to have clear path from the objective/tube lens to the camera) , which has an impact to the image.
What is the best solvent to that white/yellowish stuff (glue, epoxy or whatever) ?

Update:
Solvents did not work, soldering iron, torch - also...
Tried basics...which works every time...almost...
after dremeling...
after flocking...
final result
Got back original adapter (friend made 42mmx0.75 thread). Big plus - now I can rotate my camera at the any angle.
