Chief, generally speaking, wrist mounted altimeters weren't used then. The altimeter was mounted with a stopwatch on a board over the belly mounted T-10 reserve. You can catch a glimpse of it here:

I don't recall the make and model but the ones we had were off the shelf commercial models. I did find my goggles in a box of junk a few years ago. They were leather WWII vintage aviator goggles.
