Not sure if that is by design. Ive never heard or read about that being an adjustment.
Id be cautious that is alternatively damaging the optic and how its constructed. I dont believe POs, PSO, or POSPs have an adjustable diopter UNLESS u buy a POSP model with the "D" abbreviation which indicates it has an adjustable diopter in its design.

I heard from multiple sources, that at the time there was no western analogue to the ranging-capable, illuminated recticle with holdover hash marks.
no i used the french sniper scope we had and was merely as good and not illuminated. trust me it was well ahead even at the end of 80s and rugged too.
you want some picss of the posp on the kobra rail mount?

Red is type 81 se (regular, red wood)
Yellow is Type 81 SR (identifies as a dragunov)
Both used the same npz optic that came with the SR
This is 75yds, grey circles are 3 inches in diameter

75 yds, not really that nice for this distance lol. Id say expect 4-5 moa and you wont be disappointed. I was hoping theyd be a bit more accurate than the standard models but im not too surprised.
Keep in mind its Soviet Technology developed under Soviet Doctrines. They didnt go out of their way to accommodate special human characteristics with a lot of their equipment. Left handed ? learn to shoot right, poor eye sight ? no optic for you was probably the general mentality.
To make the POSP line up more appealing for those with eye complications BelOMO started offering models with the D distinction that would mean the optic has -3 to +3 diopter adjustment. This dial characteristic can clearly be scene on the optics body.
Crank all u want, but I hope others who read this hesitate to twist seals they probably shouldn't be.
Take some of what is said in this video with a grain of salt. The guy is incorrect on some critical bits of info like the fact he confuses the "lower" sitting optic for an AK version ( its not, its clearly a SVD version hence why its so low) AND calls the new taller one a PSL version (its actually just an AK version, but hey would u look at that coincidence a PSL is just a stretched out AK).

Ok I misremembered A little what was on my scope. On the fat part of the scope behind the turrets just in front of where it narrows down to the eyepiece end of the scope there should be a tiny set screw. loosen this a little and that will allow the whole eyepiece bell to rotate to adjust the diopter setting for your eye. This is how it is on my AK style 4 power scope.
npz and belomo are not exactly the same construction very close but not the twis we think they are.
if you look into the npz we are getting and the previous they re differences on the quality of the lenses plus the illumination is way better than it was and does not affect at all my vision that can be blurry with some red dots or different scope with illumination.
That's the problem. There are different companies who are not necessarily doing things the same way. I have both an AK POSP and a PSOP (Balaruse knock off) they happen to both have the same mechanism. Though in other ways they have a number of different construction differences. Like surface finish. The AK scope had noticeably clearer glass than the other one as well.
ah ah so true. 2 of my cousins that have the same age but raised on the wrong side of the iron curtain that are left handed were corrected and educated at school to use only the right hand. during their 3 years army time they had issues, while i never got any trouble for shooting from the left hand on a soon to be nato country again ... the only constraint was when in alert my famas cannot be on the left hand shooting side as it can picked up and used by others in case i became unuseful ...
and the psl is using the same mount as svd and it was not unseen to have pso scope on them as well.
Aaaah i could see how that could be the case... Id still advise most of these new NPZ brand owners to get confirmation from NPZ that the same method could carry across. These optics manufactures dont believe in glued assembly like most modern Western optic company's do. Everything is held together by impressively small scale feats of fabrication. Alloys, computer wires, 1960s appliance switches, felt seals, grease and fine threads with tiny brass screws in them. I cranked a Tritium tube holder the wrong way inside a NPZ 1p76 Rakurs optic earlier this year and because of such almost destroyed the $500 optic 
when you said ak scope do you mean npz one?

I was using generic surplus ammo, my cz 527 prints it into 2moa consistently; obviously i wasnt expecting this level of accuracy out of any type81. I am slightly disappointed that the SR is no more accurate than the standard version of the type 81 (ymmv) but again not surprised.
Its interesting hearing the both good and bad storys from that era and region. Thats an interesting point about the PSL, I never noticed before that the side rail was mounted so high on them compared to most AKs. Learn something new everyday thanks
