i think the goggles were worn with this mask: TYPE: SIP

DATE: c. 1970s

FREQUENCY: Rare

USAGE: Italy

FUNCTION: Industrial

NOTES: The Italian SIP gas mask was most likely an industrial mask used by civilians. It is possible that it was also used by fire fighters as a smoke mask. The mask featured a full vision type face piece, with a large clear visor which allowed for a wide field of view. The SIP gas mask is quite rare to find today on the surplus market.

modified from LMAG

That mask has a visor already though, so no goggles would be needed. They might be from around the same time though, possibly 1960s. They are obviously industrial too, so that's right. I have searched for quite a while and have come up with nothing. Thanks for searching around.

Thanks. Pirelli made gas masks through WW2 and made use of the same vibrant yellow. I don't know if these are that old though.
