Which FV are these IR leneses and stowage box from? from

[Millylover]

Hi, 

I'm sorting through our collection of Military bits and bobs and I've found this stowage box with two infrared lenes in it,  I presume infrared as no light shines through them. 

Would anyone know which vehicle are from? 

Thanks ML

They are designed to fit the, then, standard 7" Lucas F700 GS military headlights.  These were fitted, not just to Land Rovers by any means, but for a wide range of British soft-skinned military vehicles from the 1950s until the 1980s.  They are generally very sought after in the MV world, particularly as these are in their original box and in such good condition - with the rubber sealing rings etc.

Interesting that the IR lighting requirements in this DEFSTAN are linked to a QSTAN (Quadripartite) rather than a STANAG (NATO)
