Yes it was standard issue. The AM used the flipshield on all goggles after the Mark IV series cluminating in the mark VII's. (The goggles inbetween weren't goggles, but spectacles. If you're interested I can supply pictures)
This set, though, is not BoB.
A BoB set would consist of:
B-type helmet
D-type mask w/ type E carbon mic or type 19 mic (Tuck has the latter)
Mark II, III, IIIa, IV or IVa goggles (the latter 2 had flipshields that could be taken off)
I have not included spectacles here, as they were more common in coastal command, but if one was to take the spectacles into account, then the Mark V or Va would be BoB.
