Hi Neil.
They could be part of a searchlight kit.
I attach pics of a couple that I have waiting to be built up.
The pictures speak for themselves.
Hope that may help.

Have been sorting through the pile of fittings I bought and I have 14 brass tubes (with a hole in the side) with a pair of clear plastic discs for each tube.

Tubes are 15mm long and 12mm diameter. Any thoughts on what they might be for?
