Do we know what the inside of Vader’s helmet prop looks like? (ANH/ESB/ROTJ)

This one is of Bob Anderson with the stunt mask with acrylic cut-outs. Vader's mask on Prowse had his eyes dead center looking out of them, as seen in the ANH shot in his tie-fighter.
Am I understanding correctly, these two helmets are the same?! And the yellow arrow is his eye?

I don't know if they're the sames mask (I don't know how many of these were made) but the only masks with the cut out cheeks and chins were the stunt masks made for Bob Anderson to wear for the fencing scenes, and you can see the cut-out cheeks in the close-up on Vader.

As for the eyes behind the lenses, I honestly don't know what I'm looking at. They could be, they could be something else; I can't make any definite claims beyond that it's Bob in these close-ups and not David Prowse.

I only ask because I had no idea those were the clear cheek vader masks!
