Best I can find is models CR-101 and CR-103 which I believe are commercial sets made after the war. See page two of this pdf.

Is there a patent number anywhere on the magnifier? If there is, you may be able to do a patent search online...

The rubber is in remarkable shape considering the age. Either it was kept entirely away from sunlight, or it has been replaced. The uneven cut along the bottom of the rubber is troublesome, but explainable if it were adapted in the field from a different model, or if a standard eyepice was used for all models and just cut away after installation.

Nice piece.

The rubber cut is even but is bulged where the rivets are. It is also shaped like a diving mask to fit around the nose and eyes, and has a part number molded in.
