Nope and I have already said it is from something I haven't posted previously but when I saw you come back on the forum my senses said "If anyone can get this it'll be that bugga"

Righteo then.....this is a two-parter.

What are these? and for what purpose are they being used?

This will not be easy and I will be absolutely amazed at anyone coming up with the correct answer.

Not necessarily could be what is known as "new old stock". We made a lot of stuff in during WWII. If so perhaps new plexiglass.
