Ok so I have tried the 007 at night without the suppressor fitted. It is hard to tell the difference with it on or off so I am at a bit of a loss now as to why this is happening. When trying this at home it is impossible to get a totally dark view, there is some slight amount of light from houses and streetlights. The performance in this situation is superior to what I experienced out in the bush. The performance with the the built in IR zoomed is noticeable better than when it is set to a wide beam, maybe the wide beam is picking up some flare from the suppressor or the stainless barrel.
Kiwihunter reckons the 007 will not work on a scope with no parallax adjustment, but that does not explain why I can get acceptable performance in color mode and also why it will not give an acceptable image in night mode at the range which the scope parallax is set for which is around the 90/100m mark.
