What do these plug into I wonder ? Were they used on the 432 ?

Does anybody know...

Never had these in my Spartan and I don't recall seeing them in 1980s 432 (where shouting was very much the order of the day). No apparent microphone; so whoever wore them was 'on receive'.  They look a bit dainty so, maybe the fourth emergency service?  However, they also look relatively uncomfortable: so probably Army . . .

Looking closer at them it looks like a tube rather than cable, so a simple voice-tube system. Never seen that in use, or the vehicle fit and certainly no a/c I have worked with.  Strange....

Like the Gosport tubes on pre-War flying helmets? <https://bid.candtauctions.co.uk/lot-details/index/catalog/88/lot/27109/1930-s-Lewis-Style-Flying-Helmet-with-Gosport-Tubes>
