I need a bit of help with these guys, anyone know anything about goggles?

any pointers greatly appreciated, as i'm all googled out

Just a geuss;
As they exclude light round the sides and have reddish lenses I'd say they were something to do with night fighting.... Seen similar things for nighttime interceptor aircrew so that they could do whatever needed doing in normal light prior to take off without messing up their nightsight.

Other options are mountain troops (anti snow-blindness) and, stretching it a bit, anti-gas.

These leather goggles were designed to be worn by night fighter pilots 30 minutes before take off. Their dark lenses would help the pilot's eyes to acclimatise to the darkness, giving him improved night vision from the very beginning of the flight.
