Where the fuck can one find night lenses for these fuckers?

I have an M17 and would like the rest of the MOPP gear to go with it on a mannequin display. What do I need?

depends on the era you're going for.
For a Vietnam-era setup (pictured), you'll want an older olive drab chemical protective overgarment (CPOG) suit, Butyl NBC gloves (particularly Type II), and the older chemical overboots (the ones that are basically giant rubber socks with a laces you wrap all around them)

For Gulf War/Desert Storm, you can either use the older olive drab or later woodland CPOG suit, same gloves, and the later black or olive drab chemical overboots that are more like galoshes. They have several elastic loops for fastening.

Early 90s is what I'd like to go for, although I'd aim more for European or US garrison rather than choco-chip since I think it'd simply look better in my living room. Any ancillary gear I should get my hands on for authenticity aside from the CPOG suit, gloves and overboots?

What do you mean? Are you asking if there's any additional components that go with a standard CBRN protective set for the time?
If so, the only other thing I can think of is the M258A1 Personal Decontamination Kit or the older M13 Reimpregnating and Decontaminating Kit. All other typical NBC accessories should be included in the M17 kit (ABC-M8 chemical detector paper, MI Waterproofing Bag, etc).

Here's my M17A1. This is an example of your basic kit.
