Are these WW11 issued eye glasses?

Picked these up and they had this small piece of paper inside the case. Are the military issued?

Sorry, meant WWII not WWI.

Yes, they look like the standard GI steel frame glasses to me.

On the piece of paper it shows that the owner was a S/Sgt in H Company, 232nd Infantry Regiment. The 232nd Inf. was one of the Regiments of the 42nd Infantry Division.

And the service number looks like it has 8 digits which was most common for WW2.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!

Looking closely at the serial number, it looks like 31361688.

 

This was a hit:

I've never seen issue eyeglasses with the plastic temple guards,but it wouldn't surprise me. The government just bought off-the-shelf glasses and I've seen numerous minor variations: steel or gold frames, different shaped bridges, different patterns around the edge;etc. With the military prescription included I'd say there's no question about them.
