[Milsurplus] CHEST, CH-158?

[W2HX]

Anyone know what this chest was used for?

Here is a picture of one (this is not mine, just found while googling). This
picture shows certain guides removed. Mine has the guides with soft,
felt-like material. Looks like it might have held night vision goggles or a
microscope or something?
