They are very light and tan for example is a common colour in equipment. Does anyone know what those actually are and what colour the pads would have been?

In modern History, David Clark is very popular for aviation headsets and has a classic green that has been in use for at least a few decades. The company was formed in 1935 but I didn’t find any relevant product history, so this is very loose speculation

Do we know if the photo is older or newer?

They look like fabric covers over the headsets. I guess it could be almost any light color.
