Then you're in luck.  The ones in the ebay offering appear to be 
NAF-48490-1, which do fit USAAF HS-23 or HS-33 headsets with ANB-H1 or 
H1A elements.  The notches allow headbands that engage either pair out 
of the four pivot points on the element.  They also work fine for Navy 
aircraft headphones (duh...NAF = Naval Air Facility)

Nor do I.  The red PL-354 was used to identify a low impedance HS-33 
headset during the period when both HS-23 and HS-33 headsets were in use.
