Interesting image Peter, they are prewar metal lens caps for Rollei TLR
cameras, they became a rare item today. This is an example for a Rolleiflex
Standard with F&H logo for the viewing lens and Carl Zeiss Jena logo for
the taking lens:

The knowm Rollei TLR foldable lens cap was made from about 1949 for
Rolleiflex cameras, Rolleicord cameras used a rigid metal lens cap up to
about the Rolleicord Va model, when they received a plastic lens cap. My
Rolleicord IV from 1954 has an original rigid metal lens cap with the word
ROLLEI on the viewing lens and there are no words or logo for the taking
lens, this lens cap model was also used for Rolleiflex cameras from about
1939 to 1949:

I came across this fleabay listing and note that I've never seen a F&H /
Carl Zeiss Jena lenscap. This is a new one for me.
