Parker Hale Sight Help

Does anyone know what the colored lenses/filters in this vintage Parker Hale sight are made of? A couple of them are a little fuzzy and I would like to replace them if possible. I don't think they're glass as they appear to be very thin.

Thanks,
JerryH

Have you looked for the film that is used to give the high-beam instrument indicator light in your car its color?
Some vintage instrument panel repair shops have film in the different colors needed for restoration work.

You can buy optical quality polycarbanate color filter sheets, I believe places like Edmonds, even Amazon

At one time Edmunds has a sample pack with 1x3 sheets in multiple colors and densities

Do a search for Rosco Lux Small Swatchbook.  About $7.00 at Amazon. I picked up a set to get a filter to use with iron sights and red targets.
