They do look like early headlamp covers, but it may be the just the pic.
Those two wire clips are what holds VW headlamps together, under the chrome rim...
They don't just push over the glass do they??
and pivot out from the top on those metal clips somehow,,'
You need to be able to get at them, to clean the glass...
